I have an EPSOM MX-80 printer but no documentation. If anyone can send me the FACTORY SETTINGS for these two sets of DIP switches inside the printer, it sure would make life easy for me. I'm also intrested in the AUTO LINE FEED switch. It seems I'm getting two lines on every CR. Thanks in advance. Wayne Zakaras (201) 758-7189

(or was it 3?) $449 without the GrafTrax. What a deal!! I've seen friends go through 2 or 3 iterations of Gemini printers while old faithful still cranks it out, slowly but surely. I did pick up the GRAFTRAX+ roms a couple years ago at a Heath close out. All it needs is a good vacuuming and a new ribbon now and then. Here are the settings from Appendix E of the MX Printer Manual. ON OFF SW1-8 Select fixed Select not fixed SW1-7 Slashed Zero Regular Zero SW1-6 Buzzer on Buzzer off SW1-5 Emphasized Normal (print default) SW1-4 Italic Normal SW1-3 Paper out sensor off Paper out sensor on SW1-2 Not used Not used SW1-1 Compressed Normal SW2-4 1 inch skip over perf on Normal SW2-3 Auto LF with CR LF must be from host SW2-2 Not used Not used SW2-1 Not used Not used To prevent the double spacing set SW2-3 to the OFF position. =================================================================== Chris Turek CHRIS@BRL Ballistic Research Lab SLCBR-TB-W APG, Md. 21005-5066 Disclaimer: Life's a bitch, then you die!
