Nakajima WPT-160: Electronic Typewriting With Memory and Display
The WPT-160 preserves immediate paper output while adding a 20-character display, 16,000-character storage, spell-check, correction memory, formatting controls, and a portable 11.6-pound design.
What Makes the WPT-160 Different?
The WPT-160 is not a computer and does not try to be one. It is a dedicated electronic typewriter that lets you preview and manage text through a compact display, then print directly onto paper with a changeable 100-character printwheel.
One-line preview and mode information
Up to 50 files, depending on length
Electronic print speed
Built-in carrying handle
13-inch paper capacity
Helps flag likely spelling errors
Five Reasons to Choose the Nakajima WPT-160
1. Preview Before Printing
The 20-character LCD shows a short window of text and status information. It is deliberately smaller than a computer screen, but it helps catch errors before characters reach the page.
2. Store and Reuse Documents
Up to 16,000 characters of memory can hold text, phrases, or formatting across as many as 50 files, depending on content. Memory protection helps preserve stored work.
3. Correct More Efficiently
Full-line correction memory, automatic word correction, and line, word, or character erase make revision faster than on a manual typewriter.
4. Format Paper Documents
Automatic centering, bold, underlining, right-margin flush, programmable tabs, decimal tabs, superscript, subscript, and three pitch settings support office-ready pages.
5. Move Without Giving Up Features
At 11.6 pounds with a built-in handle and keyboard cover, the WPT-160 is easier to relocate than many full-size office machines while retaining serious word-processing features.
Is the WPT-160 Right for You?
| Use case | Why it fits | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Business correspondence | Clean print, margins, tabs, correction, and document storage | Confirm paper width and the formatting functions you need |
| Forms and labels | Direct placement on paper with electronic key touch | Test the thickness and layout of specialty materials |
| Distraction-free drafting | No web browser, social apps, or general computer interface | The display is 20 characters—not a full-page screen |
| Reusable templates | Phrase and file memory can reduce repetitive retyping | Total storage is 16,000 characters |
| Travel between rooms or offices | 11.6-pound body and carrying handle | It still requires a 120V/60Hz power source |
