It sounds like the cycle shaft is not fully in home
position. With the machine OFF, try to turn the print shaft (the steel shaft with the single groove that goes through the carriage) top towards the back of the machine. Then turn the machine on. Try the space bar first. If it works, your machine probably needs the cycle clutch spring adjusted or replaced.

Try the shift key, then try pressing each key on the key board one may be partially tripped.

Go to LEXMARK.COM and click your way to publications you will find a downloadable manual there.

If the hammer isn't striking the paper the print solenoid cap is probably broken. We sell them for 20.00 includes shipping and instructions.

Be sure the print wheel is properly installed and that there is no debris in the P/W area. otherwise you'll need a tech.
