[comp.periphs] Model 200 Line Feed Problem

jeffs@wjvax.UUCP (Jeffery Siou) (05/28/88)

    I own a Tandy Model 200 and encountered a problem that may or may not be
simple to solve. The problem is when I have a printer attached, the 200 only
sends out the printer port a carriage return(^M), what my printer also needs is
a line feed(^J) to prevent the printer from over writing. I've tried to fix this
problem on the printer side, but no results. It definitely needs to be
done on the computer(200) side. My question is... Is there an easy fix for this
problem?  Any help greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

In reference to the Model 200's line feed problem, there are two places
that come to mind that you can most likely download a text formatting
program that will add a line feed to each carriage return. The GEnie network
has a SIG (or Roundtable as GEnie calls them) dedicated to portables
including the 200. Also, Compuserve has a SIG supporting the Tandy notebook
portables (M100, M102, and the 200) that should also have such a program.
If you don't have an account with one of those, try calling the following;
