How do I increase the margins on the typewriter
To set a margin beyond the left or right margin, move the carrier (or cursor) to that margin, press the Margin Release key, then proceed to move the carrier (or cursor) to the desired position. Then, press the Left or Right margin key to set the new margin. A beep will sound indicating the new margin has been set. When you set a new left or right margin, the previous margin is automatically cleared.
Alternatively, you can type beyond the right margin by pressing the Margin Release key and then continue typing when the carrier (or cursor) stops at the right margin. To type beyond the left margin, press the Margin Release key and then the Backspace key to move the carrier (or cursor) to the position where you want to start typing.
Remember to always use genuine Swintec ribbons and lift-off tapes for your Swintec 7040, which can be found at

How do I get the big base wheel back in
If you are talking about the platen knob if it won't snap into place the plastic is probably broken. We sell them for 15.00 includes shipping.

I have a plastic on my print wheel do i remove it
Your description of plastic is not clear. If you mean the plastic case it comes in, then remove the printwheel from the case. Other than that the printwheel should be just the plastic fingers on a hub. You can see a sample on the
www.swintec.com website. Hope this helps.
