This is a daisy wheel typewriter. Either:
1. The daisywheel is for a different model.
2. The daisywheel is inserted incorrectly, IE upside-down, or if it is in a cartridge the wheel is in the wrong position when the cartridge is inserted. It might have had a little stop in it to prevent this that has worn out. You might be able to move it around to the right position by aligning that stop before inserting the cartridge.
3. If you can still buy those daisywheels, get a new one... maybe Ebay.

Letter characters won't change

You need to re-calibrate the touch screen. It is in the settings menu to reset touch screen. Done.

Swintec 2640 Typing wrong characters

On the L. of the keyboard there is a slide switch for pitch it should be in 10, 12 or 15 not in PS. If it isn't in PS push down on it and slide it up and down a few times and leave it in 10 or 12.

Legal characters

Basically the letters, number, and other characters that are on the keyboard. Not the ALT+ combinations. If you're pasting from a word processor, use the "Paste as plain text" option.

I am trying to install the sims 3 nd it is telling me that my code is wrong. What do i do

Double check your code to make sure your not entering a character wrong. Some of the letters look very alike, and some numbers look like letters, and vice versa. B and 8, for example. Try changing out characters that look very similar to each other, and see if that helps.

Only part of the character/letter is showing

make sure the ribbon is latched into place (should lock down) also check on the ribbon itself to make sure the print is in the middle of the ribbon and not on the very bottom, if the ribbon is locked down and types of the bottom of the ribbon, it is out of adjustment. if the ribbon looks ok, move the paper scale (the plastic piece on top of the platen) up out of the way, then push down sharply on the platen. if it moves down and clickes into place, it should work OK.

ML 100 Brother - Standard

If the characters are showing up different than the ones you pushed then your wheel is probably bent. First, open the clear cover on your ml100. Second there is a black lever that you pull towards you. Next, you pull the wheel out and if any of the arms on it are bent than straighten them out, and make sure none of the arms are over lapping. Next, return the wheel, push the black lever back into place, close the clear cover and then hold down the code button and press the reset key (the "q" key). If that does not work then you need a new wheel. This is what just worked for me, I hope it helps.
