The correction ribbon is installed on a separate mechanism on a typewriter. If you look between the regular ribbon guide and the card holder you should see the correction ribbon guides on the right and left hand side of the card holder. the spool holders will be to the right and left of the correct ribbon guides. This is true only if the typewriter has a correction mechanism installed. Some machines do not have a correction mechanism. Correction is achieved by using a correction tab which is held by hand, in front of the letter to be removed, or white out. Some correction tapes attach to the bottom of the print ribbon.
A correctable ribbon should be correctable. Is the ribbon being lifted up high enough to correct?
Is there any letters on the correction ribbon and is the ribbon installed correctly? Old ribbons lose their tackiness over time, try advancing the ribbon by hand to get to fresher ribbon.
The correction tape which should be a yellow spool and the correction ribbon cartridge should be a yellow also, sometimes orange, first. The correction tape has to in front of the black correction ribbon. in othe words this is the order. Platen, paper, correction tape, correctable film ribbon, printwheel. Also make sure correction tape is dull side toward paper. Shinny side should face operator...
Two
possibilities, one the correction tape is twisted and the wrong side is
.facing the paper. The shinny side should be facing you, the dull side
facing the paper. Second possibility you must make sure the ribbon is
compatible with the correction tape. There are 2 types of ribbons. A
correctable one (orange or yellow knob) and a multi strike (blue or
purple knob on ribbon cartridge). The lift off correction tape (orange
or yellow spools) only works with the correctable ribbon and the cover
up correction tape (blue) works with the multistrike ribbon.
make it sure that the correcting ribbon correct insert to the guide of the ribbon push it then you feel lock , test correcting not jumping ribbon case , then ok.
