Please restart your type writer machine before trying your procedure again. Then, please double check that pressing alt + m is a correct procedure based on your product manual. If so, and you can continue to have this issue, please reference the troubleshooting manual before sending in the type writer for repair with brother.

The correction tape may be installed wrong, or it may be a tacky L/o that will stick nand not raise up.. You can find a manual at BROTHER.COM, click on support.
There is either a slide switch labeled 10, 12 & 15 or a botton you press that changes indicator lamps to those numbers. Go to 15 (15 letters per inch} tou may also want to get a 15 pitch printwheel.
Hi Many brother type writers have two cam assemblies under ribbon holder. One operates the print hammer and the other operates the correction ribbon lift. sometimes they gets stuck or lock themselves up. turning on and off a few times will take care of it, but sometimes it needs to be worked on by a tech. If you look when you type a character, most likely the print hammer is not firing or it is striking the correction ribbon instead of the black ribbon. Let us know if you want to know something more else please accept the suggestion. Thanks for contacting Fixya.com
Without having the operator manual what I recall on these types of type writers, they have a key next to the space bar called "Features Key."
Most keys are color labeled.
Select the bold feature, it's color origin,
1. Press and hold that features key
2. Touch the bold key, now you are in bold typing mode.
3. When you finish bold typing, press the features key and hold, then touch the bold to turn it off.
The silver guide is touching the fontwheel and keeping it from resetting properly. You need to adjust the guide away from the fontwheel by loosening one screw on each side of the guide and set for 2 pieces of paper on the platen.
Is the platon properly seated? Sometimes the platon (the rubber tube thing that you crank the paper around) has been removed and then not returned all the way down into its cradle. Try pushing both sides down with equal pressure and see if it drops down and tightens. Good luck!
