On my 28KSR, all apostrophes will be over printed by the next character. Looks like that the apostrophe (or whatever is associated with) is suppressing the carriage to move forward to next position to perform the next task.
Like in Nick's case, no matter if I receive ITTY or use keyboard to printer, the apostrophe will be over printed.
I never looked into that challenge.

Subject: Re: [GreenKeys] M28 printer FIGS-LTRS weirdness

The space after the overprinted FIG appears normally, so all I have hypothesized so far is that the hammer is striking the # as the typebox is shifting right from FIGS to LTRS position. I need to experiment some more. I don’t think it has anything to do with ITTY. A quick test with a keyboard also overprinted.

You always have the best puzzles. (BTW sorry I buried the simple answer to last question down towards the bottom following a bunch of superfluous information)

What do we know. The last UC character should have been followed by a space. 

The # appears to be an inserted character somehow, but how at machine speed?

It suggests a back space function?

Might be fun to run a reperf in parallel.  I'm not sure how the ASCII to 5 bit conversions are done.  You wouldn't think anything funny would be involved in that.

I have a M28 printer that almost always overstrikes # onto the last FIG in a string followed by a SP.

The 3 gets an overstrike #. 

This typebox has # for FIGS-H

FWIW Unshift On Space is disabled. 

For example, if I am printing ITTY news articles, all the commas get overstruck. 

I am overstruck with puzzlement.
