Brother GX-6750 Typewriter - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for full 'make model (what it is)'. Question moved to correct category. If it is only on one key, it will be the contact under the 'R' key. Strip down, clean with electrical contact cleaner, check board for cracks. https://www.google.com/search?q=GX6750%2C+letter+R+not+working ..

1 or 2 reasons: Your ribbon cartridge is not properly snapped in place...i say this because this happens to me when my cartridge was not properly snapped in..or 2: the exposed ribbon should be placed behind the daisy wheel and directly behind those two raised hooks that looks like bent football gollies.and ALWAYS tighten your ribbon wheel once you snap it in place. there's a small yellow or red wheel on the top left of the ribbon cartridge.turn that until the ribbon is straight and even..i really hope this helps.

I think that you need a new space bar for your type writer and the springs that hold the space bar in place and down will have to be replaced as well.

NEED WHEEL WITH THAT SYMBOL ON IT TO START.

Just lift it out pull on the front of ribbon. then place the new ribbon in with the rear of the ribbon down, and snap it in.

Printwheel ou of time or broken spoke on printwheel, try new wheel first, if not that switch on left side of carriage may be out of adjutment, see if printwheel is rotating when you turn on machine you should see it turn andhear it....

15 pitch (15 characters per inch) printwheels are available for this machine. Check bing, google, amazon or ebay for deals.

Stand closer or smaller paper, your choice

Turn the machine off then on or hold down the "code" key and hit Q "reset" key to get the machine to type the correct keys. This usually happens because something interferes with the free rotation of the printwheel. Check to be sure the ribbon and corredtion tape are installed correctly and check to be sure none of the "fingers" on the printwheel are bent outward. If a finger is bent, bend it back. If everything looks okay, the board or power supply is going bad.

If you are not in KBII or a lunguage mode the printwheel homing pawl is probably broken.

If the printwheel isn't distorted or you aren't in KBII or a language mode the printwheel homing pawl is likely broken. You need a tech.

The lines are the hammer face you have a bad printwheel.

hold down the code key and press the margin release, to set margin, just hold code release margin, space over to where you want it and then press Margin set, left or right.

Typewriters have alimit to how far to the right or left that you can set margins. Once you use the alt & 6 key to bypass the current margin setting then move to the new setting then hold the alt key and touch the 7 key to keep it in the new position.
