Description:
Good old Charger 11, I can always count on you! This one has a strange bugbear where shifted characters won't always imprint the first time around, and you have to back it up and restrike at which point it will print ink on paper. Seems to only happen when going from non-shifted to shift characters, as if you put the shift lock on and type in all caps, it'll keep on putting ink on paper like normal. But the moment you go back to unshifted characters, boom, no imprint when hitting shift. Strange...

I'm a high school English teacher. Whenever I have to teach my students how to format a paper, I unleash a flock of Charger 11's at them! (they love it). I am most interested in the Brother brand, but I dabble in any and all machines.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother Charger 11 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother Charger 11 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
