Question about Olympia Startype 3 Typewriter

Olympia Startype 3 Typewriter

This typewriter is about 3 years old. It is not holding the left margin anymore. It is ok for about 2 lines, then it moves 1 - 2 spaces, then it may go back to the first margin. Is there a setting that needs to be re-adjusted. Thank you.

Does it make a grunting noise? If so, it needs a couple drops of oil on the main support shaft. Also check the indent setting. You need to use the code key to activate or deactivate the indent.

How do I increase the area where I can type?

Press margin release key, move carriage using backspace to where you want the left margin to be and press left margin set key. Repeat for the right margin, use space bar to advance the carriage and press the right margin set key instead.

Go to the margin you wish to set, press but don't hold the MAR REL key, space or backspace to the desired location, press L. or R. margin key.
Go to NADIST.COM, click on current models one of the Nakajimas will be the same as yours.

After i get to the right margin and hit enter, the carrier keeps getting stuck on it's way back to the left margin. I have to turn the typewriter off and then back on again to get the carriage back to it's...

Try a little shot of WD40 on the silver shaft that the carrier slides on also look for debris in the carrier area.

How do you release the left margin on a startype 3 typewriter

If you have lost the manual go to www.nadist.com and download the manual for FREE. They provide manuals for the Nakajima machines so you would want the manual for the AE-740....its the same machine.

Use the code key..hold down while you press the left margin set key...if you have to go beyond the left margin press the mar rel key and backspace to the spot you want the margin to be. Then proceed using the code key and left margin set . On some typewriters turning them off resets all th margins..some it does not
