Replaced ribbon on typewriter - now it only types half of letter. I have another IBM in office so I switch ribbon and even the cartridge printwheel between the two machines. All the pieces worked fine on the other IBM, but won't work on the one we are having problems with. I had problems like this years ago, but I can't remember what I did. I know it is something really simple.
Help.
Problem with Wheelwriter 30 - full letters print but they are light or missing parts - seems to print fine on one sheet of paper but anything more bulky does not give a good impression. Repairman changed platen but that didn't do it.

If it types only the top half yhe platen is probably not all the way in. Make sure the 2 black latches are lined up with the side frames then press down firmly on both sides of the platen.
