Thanks.

Product is no longer listed and I don't need another, just a User Manual
or Copy.

No hits at all on Google, but plenty of the Typewriters for sale, but not
worth buying because of
the freight.

Email the company.

They may be able to email you a pdf of the document.

Just curious - why do you need a manual? Typewriters (and they are pretty
well past their useby date now) don't have a lot of controls on them...
 
Email the company.


The are not Companies but firms like EBay., not all English.

This is a Electronic Typewriter, and to be used by a Poor Filipino Family, like most are.

Casio IS a company, and while the link I provided you is Casio Japan, the
form the link points to specifically asks you to complete it in English.

And if they can't even get the thermal ribbons, of what utility is the
typewriter to them?

This sounds a little like the old missionary thing of sending used, dried
teabags to the mission fields.

"Well, this stuff is of no earthly use to use, it is just a cast-off, but I
can send it to the other side of the world where it will be greatfully
accepted..."

Its a very Old product and that would be just a Big waste of time, they do
not even list the Thermal
ribbons for it..

Actually, a big waste of time was trying to help you.

Companies often keep old manuals in case someone wants instructions some
years down the track.

Given that it would have been faster for you to email them and find out for
sure if they had a manual they could email you, than post a question here, I
wonder what your real motivation is.

And I wonder what yours is..


Just to criticize and of no help at all.



Panasonic here have PDF Manuals on there Web site even for old stuff, Casio does have some watch
manual you can dnload but not for 2 of the older LCD watches that I have..

Well I have been around far longer that you and have been in that trade, I do know when its a waste
of time..

I wonder how old you are with a attitude like that..

Actually, when people don't mention any attempt they've made already,
it's impossible to tell whether they are lazy or have just forgotten
to mention that they've done searches.

Just yesterday, I got a Casio organizer that was made about 2000. I
bought it at a garage sale for $3.00. I came home, and immediately did
a search. Right away, I found a site that was about the device, and it
included a link to the Casio website where the manual is.

It is usually quite difficult to not find information on the internet about
older equipment. The more popular an item, the easier it is. Because not
only may the manufacturer put the information online, but third parties
will put up information because they have an interest in the product. Those
two hand me down digital cameras I have? I've got manuals off the web
that I found because I did searches. Often, even if you can't find
information specific to a piece of equipment, you can find information
about a similar unit, that is generally applicable to the piece you have.

When it is so easy to find information, if a poster doesn't want to be
called lazy it's up to them to mention that they've done searches.

At $2 tell the seller to keep the typewriter and post the manual.

You did notice that I provided you with a *link* to the webform that would
have allowed you to *ask* the company directly, didn't you?
Panasonic here have PDF Manuals on there Web site even for old stuff,
Casio does have some watch
manual you can dnload but not for 2 of the older LCD watches that I have..

You know, from the two minutes I spent reading the site, I realise that.

I also mentioned that some companies DONT put all of their out of date
manuals online - but often have them available for people clever enough to
ask them directly.

Oh well...

.... guess you miss out.

So you wasted a day doing something that should have only taken two minutes.

Sure, you have been around since the net started, but it is clear you
haven't learned much.

44.

How old are you?

Oh, and which part of my attitude do you dislike? The part where I provided
information that would have led you to the material you wanted, or the
"well, you can take a flying ****" when you decided you didn't want what was
probably going to help you?

Which tirade is that? I've serviced electronic equipment for
paychecks for 42 years.

You act like a spoiled ten year old. Why would they put them on line
when they can sell them for an inflated price? I have never found a
Casio manual online for anything I've had on the bench. After looking at
their low build quality, most of it wasn't worth even printing a manual
when they were new.


http://cgi.ebay.com/Working-CASIO-T...W-16-w-Ribbon_W0QQitemZ230118883126QQihZ013QQ
has the manual, a new ribbon and the original box for $49.95. buyitnow.

It took me all of ten seconds to find it online. Either buy it, or
STHU.
