Wheelwriter 30 series II. was typing OK but now get only less than half of letter to print. replaced ribbon same thing. tried adjusted ribbon (now sure was in right area) and still only printing less...

If it is printing only the tops of the letters the platen has worked loose. Press down firmly on both ends it should snap into place. If the print is generally bad the plastic print solenoid cap is probably broken. We sell them for 20.00 includes shipping and instructions.

Brand new typewriter ML-100 worked fine yesterday. Today, letters are not fully appearing; the ink is only filling in half of each letter printed (just the top portion.) Please help. Thank you!

Hi. There is a lever (left side) to set the thickness of paper. Move that to lower number if you only have 1 paper, move up if you have several pages. Hope this helps.

Only a portion of the letters are printing on the paper.

Sounds like the platen has worked loose. press down firmly on both ends of the platen (black rubber rol) it should snap back into place.

IBM Wheelwriter 30 series II - prints only half a letter

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.

Only typing half letters and numbers

On the WheelWriter series, sometimes the platen may pop out of position, causing only half the letters to print. If this is the case, easially solved... Using the left and right platen knobs, firmly push down to lock it back in place. Hope this helps....MediaMan
