Make sure the hammer is snapped all the way back it takes a little pressure to get it to latch it then should find its home position on is own.

The font and size are determined by the print wheel. If you want a different font or size, you must change print wheels. It is very easy to do.... Open the top cover and pull back gently on the print hammer (sometimes has orange arrows) The print wheel is directl;y in front of the hammer and gently pull it straight up. When replacing the print wheel just remember to pull the hammer back slightly so the wheel can clear.

Linda, Depending on what make and model you have it could be several things. The newer TW's use a print wheel which has to home itself each time the power is turned on. This tells the print motor how far to turn for the correct letter. Make sure there is no debris and everything is seated properly... platen, print wheel, etc. Once again, this depends a lot on what kind of TW you have. MM85

the print (daisy) wheel has a lock lever on the right hand side, pull toward you to release, push forward to lock back in place.
