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.
