The spoke on your print wheel is either bent or broken. Replace the printwheel.

You have either a bent of broken spoke on your print wheel. If it is bent you may be able to fix it. The vertical lines are the hammer face.

How do you save a document to memory and re-type from there? Is there a re-print button?

If you do not have your instruction book, go to lexmark site and search for it, can usually download a copy, so you will allways have a reference.

Probably your print wheel has a bent or broken B spoke. If it is bent you can probably straighten it if it's broken it needs replaced.

I memory serves me the wheelwriter keyboard is a sealed unit. to remove the housing look for two slots on each side of the lower part of the upper case insert a slim screw drriver into the slot to release the top from the bottom case.

try turning the machine off put a SMALL amount of oil on the large round rod running across the typewriter manually push the print head left and right a few times to see if it will loosen up. The problem is usually caused be drying oil you may consider having it serviced by a pro.
