ImageWriter II: Carriage Locks and Prints Bad

My ImageWriter II carriage intermittantly locks up and gives light or bad printing. What could be the cause?
The carriage assembly may have been incorrectly assembled, or the carriage fell out of its rear rail mount during shipping.

Solution:
1. Remove the top cover.
2. Slide the carrier assembly to the right
3. Carefully push the carrier slightly down until the guides locks in the place underneath the chassis.
4. Test the printer and replace the cover.

If the above cure doesn't fix the problem, search on GTS and the product's name to obtain a general troubleshooting procedure.
