My AX -430 typewriter was functioning well as i was using it. However as i was typing a new word, the letters are no longer visible on the paper. The part that hits or is it the hammer or arm, can no longer strike the daisy wheel. So how can i make the letters visible again as i typed on the paper?

Go to brother.com poke around you will find typewriter manuals it may help and it's free.

Could also be that your paper is too fibrous of finish. I found this page because my typewriter was ghosting, too. I adjusted some of the settings and there was not a trace of ghosting. I put the settings back and still no trace of ghosting. Then I realized that I tested for ghosting on paper that has a much smoother finish. I was ghosting on cheap paper we use here at work. So, I don't blame the typewriter. I blame the cheap paper. My typewriter just likes good paper.

Can't see where Brother manufactured a model Ax-28, you also posted in fax machines. Try finding correct model and go to www.brother.com to download operators manual.

Go to BROTHER.COM. click on support, poke around there, you will find a manual there.

Remove the printwheel, check for bent spokes, try it without the correction tape (the tape should be dry not tacky)

Check to see if there is a switch on the left side of keyboard for international or symbol printwheel selection.

check to see that when yu replace the ribbon it has not slipped in front of the print ribbon and that you have not got the button for corection pressed by mistake it is using this to print you letters not the ink ribbon

Sounds like it needs a new printwheel.

check you type wheel ,and clean your optical reader ,optical reder read`s your typewheel and because of some dirt sometimes printer moves a type wheel one step forward and you get a II.
