RIBBON WONT STAY DOWN WHEN YOU TYPE - Brother GX-6750 Typewriter

make sue it in in the ribbon lifter corectly

There are a few possibilities. If only the tops are printing Press down on the platen to be sure it is fully seated in the side frame. The T/W may be in the overstrike ribbon mode Code period, comma or slash will get you out of that mode.

Turn it off and on it should reset itself and the ribbon relocate.

Do you mean the carrier wont stay in place or the ribbon wont stay.

yes in the carrier ribbon there is a adjustment of ribbon to fix it up and down.
take out the ribbon.
see the cam from where the ribbon carrige lift up.
in side that cam a adjustable screw from that screw you can adjust the ribbon hight.

Hello- Of course the cheapest fix, is to try a second ribbon. If you need one we have them at FJAproducts.com

Most often the reason the ribbon cassette will not stay in place is due to not being seated properly. I am sure you have taken it out a few times and re installed it, but that is "normally" the only reason it "jumps up" one more thing to check in the lever near the daisy wheel. if it got bumped or unlocked the daisy wheel your ribbon will not seat properly.

Good luck.

CHANGING Changing The Ribbon Cassette 1) Move the print carrier to the center of the platen using the SPACE or BS key. 2) Hold the ribbon cassette on both sides and lift up the front portion (where the ribbon is exposed) to remove the cassette. 3) To insert a new cassette, place the back end of the cassette on the cassette holder on the carrier and gently press down on the front of the cassette unit it clicks into place. 4) Turn the ribbon feed knob counter-clockwise again to take up any slack in the ribbon. 5) Presss the CODE + = (SETTING) key.

Changing The Print Wheel 1) Move the print carrier to the center of the platen using the SPACE or BS key. 2) You will see a lever on the right side of the carrier. Pull this lever toward you and lift out the daisy wheel. 3) Place the daisy wheel into the slot with the characters facing the platen. 4) Push the lever back into position. 5) Press the CODE + = (SETTING) key.
It appears as though you have something that is preventing the print wheel from being locked in place by the release lever. It should make a snapping or similar noise when it is locked down.

Try contacting a playstation consultant.

Have you pressed the
'spider web' key (asterix in a circle) and + //

Try the unit without the ribbon installed if the mech. seems to operate properly you may only need a new ribbon.  If the condition continues you may need a new ribbon motor or board.
