Bill,

Does the printer and tape punch work perfectly when receiving from a computer?  If it does then the problem is in the kybd or somewhere else. 

If it makes mistakes when receiving from a computer then its the printer thats in trouble. 

I'm not talking about an echo back from the computer when typing but a file being printed or the like.  

Where is your printer rangefinder set?  It should be on 60 or thereabouts.
