Remove the ribbon cassette and verify there is a print wheel in the machine."don't put the ribbon back in yet. Push the carriage part way over to the right, stop, then switch the power on. The carriage should go to the LHS and the print wheel should "home" itself. If the unit is beeping at this stage...check the flex multi stand cable coming from the carriage. On earlier models the wires could sometimes break a couple of inches from the carriage. The carriage and cable will have to be replaced if this is the case.
