Hmmm - had trouble with a Brother HR1 daisy-wheel awhile back and it turned out to be a "mechanical switch" problem. The HR1 has ront panel switches to choose 10/12/15 cpi, etc.- look for something ^front^ along those lines, perhaps? ---- ProLine: joeo@pro-phx Internet: joeo@pro-phx.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-phx!joeo ARPA: crash!pro-phx!joeo@nosc.mil
