That sounds like the carriage stop.   It is adjusted for how many characters 
you can print on a line.  Usually set for 72.  Be careful when trying to 
bend anyting as a lot of the stuff is hardened and will not bend without 
breaking.
Unless something speicial the 15 does not usually have an automatic carriage 
return so it just hits the stop and each leter just piles up and makes a big 
black mark at the end .  Most of the time when sending at machine speed 
people will send two carriage returns, a line feed and a leters function to 
make sure the carriage gets back to the left side.  It takes the 15 about 
that long to get back to the left.  If it does not make it, it will print a 
character where ever it is at on the way back.
