It is a bistable device, and not timed etc, but re-set upon
carriage reaching column 0. It's on the right side under a cover

decode it since I realized the problem with mine was simply
the rails/journals were very dry and it otherwise worked fine.
I don't
know for sure why but among other things the clutch for the belt
that drives the carriage seems to be frozen on. The carriage runs to the
right and it's still trying to drive it. I can push it back to the left
Now, I am tryint to rememebr things... That clutch has a bistable
linkage. It's set (i.e. the clutch is engaged) by one of the snails,
connected to the return key. I can't remember what resets it, probably
the carriage getting to the home position (is this adjustable?) That
should give you some idea as to what to look for.
