Can't find carriage lock on Olivetti Lettera 25

I can't find the button or lever to unlock the carriage. Right now the typewriter is locked for transport and the carriage won't move. I think I have pressed and pulled and slid everything. Please be as specific as possible. Thank you! It is an Olivetti Lettera 25.

The unlocking lever is just below the right ink-roll up=loose down=locked for carriage.You slightly push the carriage bar to the right and at the same time push the lever in upward position. success!

Olivetti Lettera 22 Typewriter carriage does not move
There are two ways to deal with that (before taking you olivetti to an authorized dealer):
  1. There's a lock key under the carriage. Have you unlocked it?
  2. The carriage might have been locked by a piece of paper or something else. Release it (pull it) and clean its passage (there is a button you press in order to release it - proceed with care).

The roller already locked at centre position and cannot moved to left or right, how can I release it? Even press the small levers at the end of roller, it is still not moved to left and right.
There is a lever usually just below the carriage on the side of the T/W that locks the carriage.

Cannot unlock the carriage
There is a little lever under the carriage on the left,used for locking the carriage when in transit.Move the lever in the opposite direction,if that does not work press the Capital Lock Key then try it.If this does not work,it will be your carriage return spring having lost its tension.This is the round drum(wheel ) on the back of the carriage connected by a cord.

Olivetti Lettera 32 typwritter carriage doesn't move
If the locking lever is off, then the carriage is bound, or one of the tabs is hung, try releasing all the tabs, pushing the space bar or the tab key while gently moving the carriage.
Try all of the function like shift while gently pushing on the carriage always to the right..
also check the that the margins are not locked.
This could be a lot of different things...

How do you unlock a locked carriage?
The solution is not right--there is a carriage return release lever on the far right of the typewriter, that engages a notch on the underside of the roller/carriage return--push it forward to release the lever and you are in business--it has a spoon shaped end and its on the right side
