To correct mistakes on a letter typed on a traditional typewriter, you can use correction fluid to cover the error and then retype the correct character over it. If the mistake is minor, you can also use a typewriter eraser to erase the character before retyping it. Be sure to let the correction fluid dry completely before continuing typing on the paper.

The typewriter was invented in the 1860s by Christopher Sholes, Carlos Glidden, and Samuel Soule in the United States, particularly in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The first commercially successful typewriter, the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, was brought to market by the gun manufacturer E. Remington and Sons in 1874.

A typewriter is like a keyboard without the computer. The computer keyboard is based on the typewriter. To use it you put the paper in the top bale and rolled it so the keys could hit the paper. There was a ribbon of ink between the paper and the keys, so when you hit a key the typewriter ribbon hit the paper with the letter inked. If correction was needed the paper had to be changed.

You can try contacting the manufacturer, Olivetti, directly to see if they can provide a copy of the user manual for the Dora 204 Sp Olivetti typewriter. You might also check online marketplaces or forums for vintage typewriter enthusiasts who may have a digital version available for download.
I have a Smith-Corona electric typewriter called a "Coronet Super 12" still in the case. It is blue in color and still works. In excellent condition. Was wondering the value of this typewriter and what would be the best way to find a buyer? Thank you, Pam Burkholder

Yes, I have a typewriter.
Hi there ~ I was looking for the same instruction manual, and I found this website: http://users.lewiston.com/ejorgens/office/smithcorona/smithcorona.html It appears to sell manuals for a lot of different/vintage typewriters, including the smith corona portable sterling. (I'm assuming you are refering to the 1938 - 1949 model) Look for the Clipper/Stering manual if this is the age of your machine.
