Nakajima AE-800 Electronic Typewriter Questions & Answers
When trying to type a capital K is is not typing that but a weird symbol. This just started happening.
The key combination you're referring to probably switched your keyboard layout.
For examply, I use Dvorak to type, but to switch over to regualar QWERTY, my family presses Alt+Shift.
Note, that's because I have it set up that way. Your combination might be different.
Try this:
Control Panel --> Search "languages" --> Click "Change keyboards or other input methods" --> Click the button that says "Change keyboards"
If you see anything other than plan "US" or "English" under "Installed Services", remove it.

They don't print, could be typewheel, being they are in a row, most
likly in the keyboard. Keyboard can be taken apart and cleaned. pretty big job. But contacts can be cleaned, some times light spray of electronics cleaner that will not harm plastics can be used. Test on plastic before you spray on key board. remove keytop prys off and slight spray down shaft that holds the keytop. Move keyswitch up and down to get into the contacts and see if it works. Good luck...
I have this type nakajima ae-830, i so confuse why i can typing on my keyboard, but at my paper just blank and no one letters show at my paper. Any idea?
If you are typing on your Nakajima AE-830 typewriter but nothing is appearing on the paper, it is possible that there is an issue with the typewriter's print mechanism. Here are some things you can check to try to resolve the issue:
- Check the ribbon: Make sure that the typewriter ribbon is properly installed and is not worn or dry. If the ribbon is not properly installed, or if it is too old and dry, it may not be transferring ink to the paper. Consider replacing the ribbon with a new one.
- Check the print mechanism: Look closely at the print mechanism to see if any parts are jammed or misaligned. Make sure the print hammer is making contact with the ribbon and paper. If any parts are jammed or misaligned, carefully unjam or realign them.
- Check the paper feed: Make sure the paper is properly loaded and is feeding correctly through the typewriter. Make sure the paper is not jammed or wrinkled, and that the paper release lever is set correctly.
- Check the print settings: Check to see if the typewriter is set to the correct print mode. Some typewriters have a "stencil" mode that allows you to type without transferring ink to the paper. Make sure the typewriter is set to the correct mode for printing.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take the typewriter to a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
Nakajima AX-150 UK to USA transformer
The Nakajima AX-150 Typewriter requires a step-down transformer to be used in the USA, as the UK operates on 240 volts AC and the USA operates on 120 volts AC.
To determine the size of the transformer needed, you will need to check the voltage and amperage rating on the typewriter's power supply or label. You can then use a transformer with a matching or slightly higher voltage rating and at least the same amperage rating to ensure it can handle the load of the typewriter.
It's always best to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure you are using the correct transformer for your specific situation and to ensure safety.
I need to clear tabs and margins on NakaJIMA typewriters
Clearing tabs and margins on a Nakajima typewriter can vary depending on the model, but here are some general steps to follow:
- Turn off the machine and unplug it.
- Locate the tab and margin set buttons on the typewriter. These are typically located on the front or top of the machine, and may be labeled as "Tab Set," "Margin Set," or similar.
- Press and hold the tab and margin set buttons while turning on the machine.
- Release the buttons once the machine has powered on.
- The tabs and margins should now be cleared.
You can also consult the manual of the machine, it should have instructions on how to clear the tabs and margins on your specific model.
It's important to note that clearing the tabs and margins on a typewriter will also reset other settings, such as line spacing and paper position, so you may have to adjust these settings again.
