"correct" key is not correcting mistakes

The "correct" key sometimes works perfectly fine and will correct mistakes, and sometimes it will not correct anything that has been typed. however, if I were to type something new and "correct" it, it works fine. But once it has "overlooked" the area that needs to be corrected, there is no way to correct it. Since it works sometimes I've ruled out that it is a hardware issue. I'm using this typewriter to cut checks, so I'm getting really sick of having to void them all the time.

SOURCE: I am having an issued with my used typewriter that

Your machine is working properly, I am sorry to tell you that your machine does NOT have that function.

This is the difference between Shift Lock and Caps Lock.

1) Shift Lock is the traditional upper case used since the oldest mechanical typewriters

2) Caps Lock (what you want) works like a computer, where you get upper case Alphas and numbers.

Brother does include this feature on some models, but I am sorry to say not yours.

If this helps you, PLEASE log back on to this webpage and leave comment. It's nice to know that I am helping someone and not just wasting my time.

Key stuck in the ignition

Some cars have a catch to stop you taking it out by mistake. It's worth checking the obvious stuff first.
Work the steering and the key together. It could be a sticking steering lock. Sometimes persistence and patience can pay off.
Do you need to twist and/or push to a specific release position?
Does it need to be in a specific gearbox setting such as Park or Reverse?
Is it the correct key?
Was the key bent or twisted before you used it?

My remote control eats batteries

I replaced the battery in a VW key fob with an exact match of the dead battery I found in it. The fob worked again but the new battery lasted only 1 day. I checked the manual and discovered that the wrong battery had been installed by the previous owner and I had repeated that mistake. I installed the correct battery and it has worked fine ever since. I suggest that you double check to be sure you are installing the correct replacement batteries.

When I stitch out my applique with my Brother SE350, sometimes the satin border doesn't align with the fabric tack down stich. It makes the applique look like a mistake. It looks perfect on my computer...

Check to see if it is a free design, sometimes this is why they are free. (they arn't perfect) or you could try and edit the design yourself and see where the problem is. It's not hard when you have been shown how, but far to complicated for me to explain, try and find someone (maybe in a machine embroidery club) to show you how. Good Luck!

Hello,

Hi

Many brother type writers have two cam assemblies under ribbon holder. One operates the print hammer and the other operates the correction ribbon lift. sometimes they gets stuck or lock themselves up. turning on and off a few times will take care of it, but sometimes it needs to be worked on by a tech. If you look when you type a character, most likely the print hammer is not firing or it is striking the correction ribbon instead of the black ribbon.

Let us know if you want to know something more else please accept the suggestion.

Thanks for contacting Fixya.com

How do u correct mistakes on a Brother AX100

When you make a mistake press the correction key normally marked with an X and pointing left. If your doing that and it is going thru the movements you may have very old supplies or the correction tape may be in with the wrong side facing the paper.

I have changed the starter, solenoid and battery it ran fine last year now I can't get it to do anything. I checked the battery and the charge is fine. The fuse is ok also I changed it to make sure. Last...

Can't get it to do anything is not a very precise description of what the problem is so I will take a guess and say that the problem is that when you turn the key there is no click and no attempt by the starter to begin spinning. This would tend to indicate a problem like a wire that came loose or a bad key switch. You have done a lot of work on it so re-check your work and make sure it was all done correctly (after 30 years I still make mistakes. NOBODY is perfect).
