I have a swintec 7040 correctable typewriter. It was working perfectly fine, but while cleaning the keys with a brush, I must of accidentally pushed a wrong button. Now, the letters are off. When I type a "B", it types the letter "O". I have tried to change the KBII settings, but it doesn't help. What do I do to make it type the right letters again?

The Swintec 7040 typewriter goes a few inches to the right and stops. How do I unlock?

My best guess is that you have the R. margin set there. Go to the stopping point, press but don't hold the MAR REL key, spce to desired location, press R. mar key.
