But, before I get into opening it and regreasing it... I was seeing if anyone had a manual for it and can tell me what the blinking light indicates. When I turn it on, the Select Light blinks in patterns of three (three blinks, pause, three blinks, pause...). Do you still want a manual? Three blinks means there is a problem. Needs paper or print head is stuck or mosy commonly the ribbon cartridge is used up. pop the cartridge out and see if there is silver showing. If not advance the ribbon slightly and see if a silver band appears. Means you need a new ribbon. Do not try to print on the silver, willbhurt print head. **************It's Tax Time!
