Correction Tape
A correction tape is used to correct a misspelling or delete words and lines you
typed. On this typewriter, two types o f correction tapes are available. You
need to select the correction tape according to the ribbon you install. Lift-off
correction tapes are used for correctable carbon ribbons. Cover-up correction
tapes are used for multi-use carbons, one-time carbons, and fabric ribbons. For
