This can vary as it depends on the capability of the typewriter. With traditional typewriters that type as you press each key, you may have to use "white-out" or correction tape and then type over the covered error. In some typewriter models, there is a correction tape already mounted inside the typewriters and you can hit a key to have it either cover or "pick up" the error (depending on the type of ribbon used to print the characters on the paper) and then type as normal once again.

With other models of typewriters and with word processors, they do not actually type what you have entered until you press the carriage return key or it otherwise fills its buffer. In this case, if you notice that you made an error before anything is printed, you just review what you have typed in its LCD display and make the appropriate correction. If the entered data has already been typed by the machine, then refer to the above paragraph, though typing a correction on one of these machines after correcting a printed error is more complex since it is not as simple as just moving the platen to the place of the error and hitting a key again.
