You probably have the friction (typewriter style) feed on.  On the left side
of the TOP of the IW, you will find a lever with perhaps cryptic markings.  One
of the markings, the one toward the rear of the IW, shows pin-fed paper.  Moving
the lever the other way tightens the rollers against the platen to feed paper
like a typewriter.  The two feed methods are incompatible, as you are finding
out.

I do not know the location of the eqivalent control for the IW II, but you can
be sure there is one.
