IBM Selectric Service Manual

13.5 MAL-SELECTION OR PARITY ERRORS
Mal-selection or parity errors may be caused by the
latch pushers contacting their latch extensions when
an unselected pusher is against its armature. There
should be a minimum of .002" clearance (Fig. 1A)
between the pusher and the latch extension when the
pusher is against its armature. To check this adjust-
ment, turn machine power off, trip the cycle clutch,
and hand cycle a few degrees through a cycle. The
pusher cam
follower should be on the low dwell of the
pusher cam.
