I am getting a trickling of requests for "how do you run a LW+ at 19.2K?". Here is how based on help from Mike Blackwell who I believe received information from this mailing list. My apology if this is a repeat piece of information. First, set it up so you talk to your LW+ at 1200 baud. Enable modification of the permanent state as specified in appendix D.6 of the PostScript Language Reference Manual by giving the postscript command: serverdict begin 0 exitserver where "0" is your LW+ password. The next thing to do as specified appendix D.3 on page 279, use the setsccbatch command. The command you give is statusdict begin 25 19200 0 setsccbatch end with "25" for the RS-232 port, 19200 for 19.2K and 0 for ignore parity. At this point you should send EOF via tryping control-D and then try seeing if you made a mistake by issuing statusdict begin 25 sccbatch == == end and then also try by power cycling the printer and then do that command again. If it does not say 19200 but says 9600 then you mistype something or maybe the "executive" is in the way and you should be using batch mode (the one which does not echo and does not support a delete-character and kill-line control characters). Switch it to 9600 baud which is not configured for 19200 software wise and away you go. -Rudy
