no easy fix for this one. take it to a repairman

First, be sure you are using a Brother compatible daisywheel. Some other manufactures' daisywheels "look" the same but the charters are in different order, so they will not function properly.

After changing the daisywheel you need to d a reset. Hold down CODE and press "Q" the carriage will do a little dance and your machine should be good to go!

If memory serves me your typewriter has a key or lever marked KB 1/KB 2 it should be in the KB 1 position

Just reset the right margin as far right as it will go

by using the MR key or on some machines it is called M REL

If you are not in KBII mode or PS pitch the homing pawl is probably broken. You need a tech.

DickyO

do you have the hammer mechanism locked in the forward position?

hold down the MR (margin release) key and back space

The homing pawl is homes the print wheel on power up. You need a tech that knows brother T/W's. If you want to send it to us we can.

Move the carriage (print head) to the margin you would like to clear. When you hear the beep, hold down the [ALT] key and press [3]. Now use the backspace or the space bar to move the carriage to where you want the margin set. Now hold down [ALT] and press [4] to set the left or [5] to set the right margin. For your further reference, I have included the keyboard special key chart. You might need to download the pic and zoom in to read it.

There are two things that people mess up when changing printwheels and ribbons. Is that the ribbon is not in the guides properly. The other is that the latch the holds the type wheel is not locked in the forward position.

If you are not in a language mode or proportional Space you probably need a tech to replace the P/W homing pawl.

Is there a printwheel in the machine?
