[GreenKeys] Model 15 Print Quality

[Richard Knoppow]

    I would certainly clean the type before trying any adjusting. 
The B may be so dirty that its not hitting the paper evenly. It 
could also be damaged. A visual inspection will tell you what is 
wrong. If the type is damaged I would consider replacing the 
entire type bar but clean and inspect it first.
