Alarm

I have tried the solutions you've suggested, removing the ribbon/correction tape & nothing is obstructing it from going all the way to the left, yet when turned on it moves to the left then the alarm sounds until turned off.

Same Problem

-   We have the same problem. When the typewriter is turned on, the print assembly moves to the far left and the alarm beeps constantly. It stays on for a few seconds after the typewriter is turned off. It has worked fine until today.-   adoug4

-   We have the same problem. Turn on the typewriter, internal print wheel assembly moves to far left, and alarm beeps immediately begin to sound very rapidly, and do not stop until the power is shut off. Removing the print wheel and ribbons produces the same situation exactly. The typewriter will not function in any other way. This began today. The typewriter had operated normally since we bought it 4 years ago until now.-   robbiemuse

Oil the chrome rod that the carrier slides on, when they get sticky they slow the printed down and tells board it has not come homein time. Also will give you different margins every time....Good luck
