The ribbon stays almost on the same place when typing words that is why the letters have broken lines. The mark on the ribbon shows that the ribbon does not advance sufficiently for it to print full lines on the letters. The mark on the ribbon is on the upper side of the ribbon and not on the center. Usually the mark should be on the center of the ribbon.

The typewriter is set in P.S. mode instead of 10 or 12. This switch is in lower left corner of keyboard.

Hellooo.
2 thing come to mind you may check.
First check the ribbon cartridge to see if it is empty..These are usually a one time ribbon...and has to be replaced when empty.
2nd make sure the cartridge is snapped in properly and seated, and also the printwheel lever must be snapped (pushed forward) in order for everything to be aligned. if the typewriter has a correction tape (white or clear) make sure it is not interfering with the ribbon.
Lastly the ribbon drive may be broken or out of adjustment. a minor repair.
Hope this helps...

The forms obviously have a glossy surface, a fabric or multi strike ribbon will work. There is a impression control oh the l. side of the keyboard and also a bold feature, try max impression and bold.

The 17657 ribbon is the side loading "pork chop" ribbon is a fabric ribbon and it shoulden't run out just get lighter until you change it you may just have a bad ribbon.
