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 type?

You should have a "margin " adjustment on the typewriter. Just narrow the current margin

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.

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.
