Put a multi part form in it, if it prints on the copies then you have a ribbon issue. If so be sure the ribbon is installed properly and that it isn't twisted (the dull side should face the paper) Try it without the Lift off they sometimes steal the impression.
First thing is to be sure the ribbon is feeding, watch while you type. if not you may have a universal spool ribbon that isn't quite that universal. Wind the ribbon onto your old spools.
I nhave looked without much success but as far as i can tell it should take a General Ribbon T5 or T6. 2 ' spools W/ 1/8" hole and 4 or 5 smaller holes around it.
The ribbons are available in the USA GENERAL RIBBON #T381 or Nukote B136 L/O G.R. #T376 Instruction book not likely. I hope you can find them a little closer to home.
