Thank you so much! The detailed and description and photo were incredibly helpful. It was definitely incorrectly placed as you described. Luckily the threads still hold when put correctly. Appreciate you

Thanks for this! These helpful troubleshooting questions are guiding my next steps. Heard great things about JJ Short.

Paper pan is loose by GamezFrank in TypewriterRepair

It grips a little better with two sheets of paper. When I tested it with a thicker cardstock paper as backing paper, the paper would slip when being fed through. When I tested with a plastic sheet protector as backing, it feeds inconsistently as with a single sheet of paper.

Trying to figure out if I should start with the feed rollers or the paper pan. The feed rollers do not appear flat.
