I've had the same problem only when trying to text while plugged into someone else's charger. As soon as I remove it, it's fine.

If you aren't in a language mode or KBII the printwheel homing pawl is probably broken. You need a tech.

The lines are the hammer face you have a bad printwheel.

Turn it off and on it should go thru it's dance and rehome the print wheel. f you are notin KBII , language mode or the print wheel damaged the homing pawl for the P/W is probably broken you need a tech.

Take out the tape and spin the drive for the tape. Put it back together and it should work. I hope this provides some assistance to you.

try to disconnect your keyboard and turn the computer off.. when you plug it back up it should have been reset.. or go to the keyboard settings in control panel and you should be able to fix it from there... when you type on a word processor does the letters do the same thing or is it only when you are printing??

BACKGROUND - When you turn on the machine, close the top cover, or press [Code]+[Reset} (on some models) the print head moves to the side, the daisywheel 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. If a reset does not correctly reset the daisywheel, I would

1. Turn off the power, open the lid. On the bottom of the case there is a metal frame on the side of the frame (where the carriage goes were it homes) 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.
2. That tab can be easily bent which causes the reset to be incorrectly done. 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).
3. Power up the typewriter, close the lid and test it. It might take a couple of tries in either direction to get it right. Be ready to turn off the power if you bent the tab too far the tab will not enter the print head correctly, and the carriage will jam. Just nudge the tab in the other direction.

CAUSES - This reset tab most often gets out of alignment by a child playing with the machine, or when a foreign object is in the machine when the print head is moving.

Check and see if the pitch selection is in PS.

The first thing I would check is in Control Panel/Keyboards. Make sure the Keyboard Layout has not changed.
