My parents have an old Okidata Microline 82 that they want to connect to their PC. The problem is that it feeds an extra line all the time. I know that there is probably a dip switch that needs to be set for CR/NL mapping but they got the printer from a friend and got no documentation whatsoever. Does anyone have one of these that would be willing to send me/my parents a copy of the major pages? I would also appreciate if someone could send me their address. My parents will probably request a new manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone is willing to copy the appropriate pages. My parents mailing address is: A & F Fallavollita 2908 Gold Mine Road Brookeville, MD 20833 Thanks in advance, _____________ | | | Mike's | | 386 | |____ _____| Michael Fallavollita | | mikef@portia.stanford.edu ---------------------- | [ ] [ ]| | [ ]| ----------------------
