Typewriter: return button on panasonic r305 goes only down not back

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 07:23:21 -0700

hi everyone

my mother recently left me a panasonic r305 electronic typewriter

the problem:

when I hit the return botton, instead of going down and back to the beginning of the line, it just goes down and stays on the same "column".

if I switch it off and then on, it restarts and goes back to the beginning. but u can imagine that's not something I want to do every time.

I'm gessing it has something to do with margin setting? I can't find the instruction manual anywhere online, and there doesn't seem to be any button or lever to move the carrier mannually

any thoughts? ideas?

thankss
