Re: Brother GX 36750 - I replaced the ribbon,...
When you turn on the
machine (or press [Code]+[Reset}) the
print head moves to the right side, the print wheel spins, and the ribbon jumps
up and down, that is the machine resetting its self.
If a reset does not work
the reset tab may be out of alignment. I would
- Power it off and then turn it back on and test to
again.
- If it's still typing the wrong or unreadable letters
then turn off the power, open the lid. On the bottom of the case there is
a metal frame on the right side of the frame you will see a small metal
tab pointing towards the middle of the machine. When the machine resets
its self, it uses that tab as a reference.
- That tab is easily bent which causes the reset to be
wrong. Most people can bend it by hand, DON'T use a pliers! The tab can
break off completely. It does not take much pressure and it does not need
to be moved very far at all. Just nudge it towards the back (or the front)
power up and test it. It might take a couple of tries to either direction
to get it right. Be ready to turn off the power if when the print head
resets. If you bent the tab too far the tab will not enter the print head
correctly.
This reset tab most
often gets out of alignment by a child playing with the machine, but if a foreign
object is in the machine when the print head is moving.
