There is no keystroke pattern to reset the EM series typewriter. There are two methods to reset this typewriter.

NOTE: This will not affect the format settings (bold, underline, etc)
2.If you want to abandon the current typing position; turn off the typewriter, wait 10 seconds for the power supply to reset and then turn the typewriter back on. The typewriter will reset and the carrier will return to the beginning of the current line.
NOTE: Turning off the power will restore the format settings to standard default settings (bold, underline, etc).

How to Use a Smith Corona Typewriter A Smith Corona typewriter can be either a manual or electric model. Whichever model you have, the typewriter works in basically the same way. If you are familiar with a computer keyboard, you can type on a typewriter as the keys are laid out exactly the same. Unlike a computer, typing mistakes are harder to correct and, unless you use carbon paper, you will only have one copy of any document you type.

Is the typewriter a Smith Corona SD 250? If so, you have entered the "memory" mode by mistake. Over on the left side of the typewriter is a switch marked "MEM", "LINE", and "TYPE". Move the switch down to "LINE" or "TYPE" to resume normal typing. DO NOT PRESS ANY NUMBER BUTTONS ON "MEM" MODE! Does this information fix your problem?

I just got this typewriter a few days ago so I don't know everything about it yet... But I believe that this is one way to fix your problem.

Best of luck to you!

You didn't say what kind of typewriter it is or if it only happens on the symbol keys.

you must be in some memory mode,lookup your manual to re-set the typewriter in manual mode. Or re-boot the typewriter....good luck.

This typewriter has a rubber bumper on the hammer solenoid that becomes sticky and soft after a few years it needs replaced.
