[GreenKeys] 28 Printing I for T - Solved

[Tom Hunter]

A couple months ago my 28 skintight started printing I instead of T. (See
first photo.)

My first thaought was misinterpreting a character. I checked The code
chart: T is ----5, while I is -23--. Not likely.

My next though was that the platen might have been to low and the T-bar was
trying to print around the curve. That is an easy adjustment on a 15 but I
have no jdea how to do on a 28. So I just stopped using it.

Yesterday I started thinking about ribbons. After I re-ink a ribbon too
many times it starts to fold over on top. I checked and that was not the
case here. Then I wondered if the ribbon oscillator was not lifting the
ribbon high enough. I stared at it while it was mis-printing, but nothing
jumped out at me. Then I got the bright idea of turning the ribbon upside
down. I reversed the spools - Problem solved! (See second photo.)

I hope this might help somebody.
