[GreenKeys] Model 32 help

[Jeff G]

Is it not going into FIGS locally, meaning if its idle with no connection
on itelex, and you hit figs then a number, it still shows letters?

 If you have a tape punch, try punching a couple FIGS presses and see if
the proper bits are punched; that'll tell you if its something in the
printer or if its the keyboard/distributor. If the proper bits get punched
then its a printer issue, if not, then its likely a keyboard or distributor
issue (i'd start with cleaning distributor and wiper since you say it may
have ran open for a bit).
