Royal Scriptor II typing symbols and not the letters!!! 87 yr old mom could have hit a random button typing. ^^ and many others - no letters?

You can try searching for a manual for the Royal Scriptor II typewriter on the manufacturer's website or on websites that specialize in providing manuals and instructions for various products. Additionally, you may be able to find a digital copy of the manual on online marketplaces or auction websites, such as eBay or Amazon. If you are unable to find a manual online, you can try contacting Royal's customer support for assistance in obtaining one.

Hello, Sue - The Royal Typewriter Company now is known as Royal Consumer Information Products. I have not found typewriter manuals as an option on the Royal Consumer Information Products web page for Manuals: http://www.royalsupplies.com/support/drivers-and-manuals/ Nor have I found a PDF version of the manual you need online. Therefore, I suggest you contact the Customer Service department of the company directly (via a phone call) and ask about the availability of the manual you need. You will find the phone number on the web page cited above, in the lower left corner. Best wishes.

Texting on this model a bit tricky. First pull up name & number of person you want to text to, if it is in your phone. Then hit short dash line under the word 'options'. Make sure #1, 'create message' is highlighted. Hit ok button. Now type message. If you want a 'v', for example, you have to hit the #8 button 3x quickly. If you make a mistake, hit 'clr' button on top right to clear it & retype. So, for example, you want to send the word 'please'. You would have to hit the #7 button once, wit a second for the curser on screen to move to next space, then hit the # 5 button 3x quickly to get to the 'l', wait for curser, then hit #3 button 2x quickly to get to the 'e', etc. You get the drift. This model is not very conducive to sending longer texts. It's too time consuming & annoying. But short ones are ok if you have the patience. IF you need a space in between words, hit the '0' button once (that's zero, not 'o'). This is where text code comes in handy for shortening words, such as "LOL" for laughing out loud, etc.

Once you are through typing note & want to send it, just hit ok button to send. It may take a bit of time for message to go through. If you type a lot, it may take up more than 1 page, if this happens, the phone will ask you 'message is 3 pages, do you want to send now', or something like that. The longer the message is, the longer it will take to send.

One thing to keep in mind, before you start typing, make sure you hit the bottom lower key that has the asterisk & up arrow on it 3x quickly, or else when you type, it will be all garbley goop. If you want a capital letter, you also have to hit that same key once before you hit letter key. It only works for one letter at a time, so if you need to do more than one, say you want to type "DVD", you have to hit asterisk key once, then #3 button for 'D', then asterisk key again, then #8 button 3x for "V', etc. If you need a symbol or punctuation, use the bottom right hand key that has the # sign on it. Hit it once & some symbols come up, you will have to move over to the one you want by using outlined area around the 'ok' button. Once you get to symbol you want, hit 'ok' button it will add that symbol or punctuation to your text & return you to your text area.

If you do not see the symbol or punctuation you want, hit small dash under the word 'next' & it will take you to the next page. I think there are 7 pages of these different symbols & punctuation.

Hope all that helps. Email me at: [email protected], if you have any other questions. Put short note in subject box so I know what this is about. Good luck!

Press margin release before you hit return then continue typing. You may have set the right margin.

On the lhs of the keyboard check the Pitch Sel slide switch position;...it may be in the PS position...change it to 10,12 etc, to match your print wheel.

bad logic

Check to see if there is a switch on the left side of keyboard for international or symbol printwheel selection.
