Brother GX 8250: my problem is with the carriage.

try cleaning with air or vacuum

You probably have 2 problems. The R, margin is set near the left and auto return is on.

Happy New Year

one you press return you CANNOT delete.
make sure your white ribbon is well stocked and before pressing return check carefully your grammar then hit return.
good luck.
love typewriters.

Hi
There's a manual available on the Brother site.

Sorry I can't help with your other question.

go to http://www.brother-usa.com and you will find a printable user's manual for all models

the "index" motor has gone bad or the gears have broken, will need a visit to the repair shop, or get a new one

Try pressing the margin release key then backspace and reset the left margin.

First,the paper problem is most likely that your paper release lever is in the forward position,just click it back and you will find that the paper will stay in place and space upwards when carriage return is pressed. Make sure that the printing unit can move freely to both extremes of its travel when the machine is turned off. Lift the top cover up and move the print unit by hand, it will feel stiff but it will move. If all this is in place your problems are over....

Make sure the knob for the platen (roller) is tight. Hold the roller and turn the knob to tighten.

hold down the code key and press the margin release, to set margin, just hold code release margin, space over to where you want it and then press Margin set, left or right.
