When I am typing, everything will be fine until the spacing goes haywire. Letters are put above letters or they are strewn across the line. Normally, when this happens, the letters begin to change and the typewriter will not put the correct letters down. I can fix the latter by resetting the typewriter, but this only helps for a short period of time. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
How to install and set the daisy wheel correctly onto the typewriter
SOURCE: GX6750 Typing wrong letters
Linda,first of all,does the daisy wheel spin when the typewriter is first turned on? if it does,then you will feel assured that it is installed properly. Next, refer to your manual to key board settings. It will indicate that there are settings for normal standard English keyboard and somehow that setting may have been changed. It would be also be important to check the daisy wheel to see if it is compatible with standard English keyboard...Cheers, John

How do I set keyboard 1? I see 2 and 3 on the keyboard but I don't see 1. Where is it? What letter is it on it?

HI.. the hammer solenoid may be faulty..it should make a typing sound when you hit a key.( the printhammer moved and strikes the printwheel) or when you changed ribbons you might have unlatched the printwheel..there is a lever you press to relatch it until it "clicks"
If not that then make sure the ribbon is seated correctly, that it is between the printwheel and the black roller.Also visually inspect the ribbon so it is not caught in the printwheel.

Hi there. Take out the printwheel and see if any of the spokes are bent. That would cause wrong letters. . Also if the print solenoid(piston) does not go in and out freely. Lawrence

alot of the brother t/w's have 2 cam assemblies under ribbon holder. 1 operates the print hammer and 1 operates the correction ribbon lift. sometimes these will hang or lockup. sometimes turning on and off a few times will take care of it, but sometimes it needs to be worked on by a t/w tech. if you look when you type a character, most likely the print hammer is not firing or it is striking the correction ribbon instead of the black ribbon.

I have to add one extra bit: When I type, and I just noticed, the problems occur when I begin to move fast. Of course, they will eventually occur no matter what pace I move, but the problems occur faster. Also, when the problems do arise, it sounds like the typewriter is jammed or something similar, as if it can't move fast enough.
