[comp.sys.apple] Apple DMP

gregp@pro-carolina.cts.COM (Greg Prevost) (11/28/87)

I have an Apple Dot Matric Printer but no manual on it.  It seems that the
internal 8k print buffer is turned off and I do not know the corrent switch to
turn it back on. (Thats what I get for buying it used)

PS For all you adventure fans, the long wait is finally over.  Wizardry IV is
now out.  The game is definetly challenging enough.  And Sir Tech was nice
enough to leave it with no copy-protection except a password scheme so backups
are no problem.  By today I should have it patched to remove even that so I
don't have to look up any numbers at all.  To all you like me who have awiated
the return of Werdna for all these 3+ years, it is here.

I don't have a complete set of docs for the DMP but from the refference card:

I tried this earlier and line noise bounced me off the system.  Here we go
again.
