Questions & Answers

What is the bow's length and is there a correcting ribbon included?

You will find a cassette ribbon model 1030 as well as a correction tape model 3010. My understanding of correcting errors with a correction tape is limited since I type a lot on carbon paper. The information in this paragraph is taken from the owner's This kit provides enough ribbon to get you started, but I must have typed more than I expected or this was just Staples had a replacement ribbon for me, so I didn't have much trouble finding it.

I have a brother Is it possible to add a '**' to the 4000 Electronic Typewriter?

I am not sure what you are looking for. There is, however, a negative aspect to it Unlike the first two ( Y + U + U ) ( A+U U ) ( but) it does not have a third symbol All I can do is my best

Are the errors correcting themselves?

A wonderful job of correcting is done by it. There are all kinds of correction tapes, and you can change just one letter or the whole word. As I am on my third ribbon, I have yet to change my tape, and I make mistakes, too! The typewriter is inexpensive and is easy to use (you hit the backspace key and then the correction key near the space bar to make corrections). Using the correction key at the top right without a backspace will do a whole word. Thank you. I hope this is helpful.

Are you able to write long documents, such as a novel, with this?

Is the Brother SX-70 Clearly, the 4000 is an impressive machine, and it would be possible to type long documents on it without a problem. As a result, I am not really qualified to answer this question since I have never attempted to type for hours on end.

Selected User Reviews For Brother Printer RSX4000 Electronic Typewriter with Dictionary (Renewed)

Filling out forms professionally is still a practical and useful necessity in office equipment! A Brother typewriter I bought stopped working, so I purchased this to replace it As soon as the striker hammer ceased striking, it ceased to exist A new one would have been cheaper to purchase than to have the old one repaired (the old one had been in use for more than 23 years)
5/5

Compared with my last unit, this one is much lighter and streamlined, and for a girl like myself, that is a huge plus since my previous model was a huge chore to move and set up on any desk or table. A new power cord makes handling the device a lot easier, because the older version was quite stiff and difficult to manage. Here is a situation where being older does not necessarily make you a better person. Likewise, I never enjoyed the square style of the 80's/early 90's, it was certainly less pleasing to the eye than the one shown below. In my opinion, I appreciate Brother still making the keys taller and with a firmer feel than other brands. Not that the keys are hard to push, quite the contrary, but they increase the accuracy of the keys and there is a more classic typing feel than other brands. It is the first time I have tried the electronic spell-checker It is better to type just free-form rather than checking features Hand the old-fashioned thing to- While I used the old-fashioned way of writing, I was the best speller at school, so the spelling feature may prove useful for those wanting There's no doubt about it, this is a high-class game An advanced computerized typewriter with a large number of features and the ability to type and double-space Please review the screen before typing it on paper to save on paper and ink and to avoid wasting time and money. For me personally, I like the sound of a vintage radio It is a classic old-fashioned typewriter that has a very nice typing sound, about as close to the classic WWII-era typewriters as you can get This era was characterized by Because my parents couldn't sleep when I had my typewriter on, I avoided typing at night, but they couldn't sleep regardless of whether I typed on a computer keyboard. I don't type more than the average person, but I do type over 40 words per minute. The main thing I do with it is type W. A pair of 2's (and one W-) A small group of forms (1, 3, and 4) are needed for another person. My old Brother typewriter was handy when I was a teenager, and I still prefer to fill out forms on it rather than installing form-filling software. I still find it faster and easier to just pull out my typewriter and hit enter than have to go to the trouble of installing the program. Filling out the cheap program on a computer and figuring out how it works, only to discover that it still does not print out as professionally as you would like The same thing as when I am using my Brother typewriter (which I keep with a dust-cover to protect it since I only use it occasionally). In most cases, letters contain the following information While I use a desktop computer and printer for a lot of my writing and typing, I find that I like the process of using the Brother SX-31 a lot more for certain envelopes, labels and completing forms. There are four types of 4000. I really appreciate the time-saving aspect of this! I love the results, and it's well worth the effort! Please vote below if you found this review helpful.

Writing is good for your career
5/5

I gave it five stars since I received the product in exactly the condition it was The package was delivered within the specified delivery window and undamaged. The order was delivered even though the package was unprofessional and the ice storm hit Texas. I have been typing rough drafts on the typewriter. You can type an entire line before printing, and that's the best feature. Even though it may seem silly in this day and age of technology, the security it provides for original works makes it.

It worked like a charm as soon as I got over that minor issue
4/5

A workhorse label printer, the Brothers Label Printer, is one of my machines, but I needed a regular typewriter to fill out forms that weren't on the printer The SX-line was what I wanted, so I bought it I was able to purchase the 4000 at a reasonable price. The only problem was that it did not turn on when I plugged it in. This time, I checked twice We checked the plug for damage and made sure the switch was in the "on" position, but still no luck. Plugging in the machine slightly jiggled the plug in the wall socket and it came to life (I double-checked) To make sure the wall wiring was not faulty, I checked the wall socket This was not the case). I was able to fix this minor issue and the typewriter worked like a charm after that. If you are planning to order repeats, I would strongly recommend that you do not do so The Brother website for supplies You will pay a premium price for these. Best to order starter kits, ribbons, etc. from I mean it. The same item is on sale for 50% off.

When you own a business, you must have one of these
5/5

You think you don't need a typewriter, right? Since I received it, I have used it a lot. There is a possibility to take the paper out of the copy tray and load envelopes and type the address on the computer and then send it to the printer and then re-copy the document on the original tray. You can either load the envelope on the typewriter and type the envelope or you can load the paper back into the copier. Besides typing stock certificates on stock certificates, I have used it to type on original certificates as well. It is really IMPOSSIBLE to do all these things electronically,.

Despite its age, this typewriter is still in very good condition
5/5

Despite its age, this typewriter is still in very good condition. The set up proved a bit difficult at first and I initially thought it was a lemon, but the problem was I did not have the instructions
Call BROTHER and they told me what buttons to push and it started working right away. The one suggestion I have for Amazon. There is a need for reps to be more knowledgeable about the products they sell.

My younger son's birthday came up and I bought this for him
3/5

Buyer beware of Brother customer service. The product is brand new and is in excellent condition We could not get it working. Invoices are being sent out shortly, but I have not received them yet Yes, it was under warranty, but we had to pay to have it picked up by the warranty people and fixed Let's get back to you! Those who develop a brand new product should ensure it works, works well, and works efficiently I've been going to the clinic for a long time. If the company fails to do so, it should pay any and all fines We will do whatever it takes to make sure the customer is There is no such thing as 'they don't' This would not be possible. As a matter of fact, I said the same to customer service. The way you sound, you do not seem to care. It was her opinion. It's all good. Is that ok? Are you sure that's all you want There was something very wrong with them & I very much regretted it My last purchase of a Brother product will be this one. I will say that Amazon was great in helping us and it will be my last purchase with Brother. Amazon was contacted about the product and it has been returned However, only a part of my purchase cost was refunded, which I consider to be the fault of Brother rather than Having worked with Amazon for many years, they are always very good to work with.

Worked well for the most part
3/5

I really like it. There are some yellow spots on the keycaps, but considering when the thing was made. . .

My only complaint is that it looks as if the little metal guide that holds the paper against the roller was poorly repaired. In other words, it detached from the single strip of what appeared to be gorilla glue I used to secure it in place, and I had to attach it again. That's OK, I can fix stuff, but maybe the repair people will hear about it, since I'm the one doing the repairs It is not very effective whatever was applied to metal here does not adhere.
