How to make multiple copies on IBM Wheelwriter 2

Two things. Multipart forms have a film on the top copy. Change the ribbon to another brand. Some work better than other. Probably if it printing some on the top copy, and it works on regular paper. If it does work on regular paper its the ribbon may be old or change to different brand. A work around is to use eraser on the form where you going to print. This will the remove the film, and allow to type there.

IBM selectric ii doesn't type everything else works. Ball doesn't turn and doesn't type.

If you have checked the ribbon, and see that it is moving by looking at the letters on it. You may be in stencil postion. Just below the ribbon there is an r and and s Push the r button and try it.

Can a 20yr old IBM computer be made to show larger words on screen

Contact several vendors and the non-profit organizations and you may find something that works, or discover a way to get a newer computer (used or donated likely). I supported visually impaired users about 20 years ago, and several government organizations sponsored products that did so. https://www.zoomtext.com/help/contact-us http://www.gpat.org/Georgia-Project-for-Assistive-Technology/Pages/Screen-Enlargement-Software.aspx
