    That is how the unit displays error codes. If you can tell me which ones are on or flashing, we can probably give you an idea as to where to start troubleshooting

How do you set up (or turn off) double spacing on an IBM Wheelwriter typewriter?
The older models have a key on the R. side that says line space, press that and the lights will change to indicate spacing.
On the later ones you must use the code key with with the line space key in green on the R. side.

Usually means the keyboard is bad. Check the keyboard connecdtions. Sometimes a real pain to remove and reinsert them. What lights are blinking?

Character spacing
Joany, look for a function,usually on the left side of the keyboard on the IBM,that has the markings 10,12 and 15. And if my memory is correct,there will be a series of lamps which light up at the selected pitch. I would look for a key marked "pitch" and press that. Good luck.

Will not type
If the 1, 2, and 3 line space keys are flashing in order, you need to change the two AA batteries that are located inside your typewriter.

The ethernet configuration has disappeared from my IBM 6400i i10 printer's configuration menus. It was working and I accidentally restored the Default settings. Now I only have the serial and parallel port configurations in the menu. Just got this from eBay and it is in nearly perfect shape! I found the CE menu and it has an option to set "E-Net to default". I worry that this could make matters worse. The printer is printing via Ethernet; it seems to remember the settings even though there is not and Ethernet settings any more. This might stop when the DHCP lease on the address ends.
