/* ---------- "Inherited DMP-400 printer, no manua" ---------- */
I've been given a DMP-400. I plug my PC's printer cable into it and
things seem to work well.. except for the following:
* The printer double spaces. Apparently seeing a CR causes
the printer to CR and LF.
* Does the DMP-400 understand the horizontal tab (^I)
character? I seem to be getting an "X" with a short line
over and under it.
There are eight switches on the rear panel for which I have no information.
Desired:
Information on the rear panel switches.
Is there a manual available for this printer? The local Radio
Shack says they can't help me.
What is the 5-pin DIN connector on the rear panel used for?
