[comp.misc] Help with Panasonic KX-P1124 printer

johnb@lakesys.UUCP (John Burant) (09/26/89)

I recently bought a Panasonic KX-P1124 printer, and am hving some trouble.
The printer works (self-test), and the computer communicates with the printer,
(on-line/off-line - pauses), but I can't get it to print out anything by:
 1) command: A>type filename.ext > prn  
 2) command: A>print filename.ext (etc.etc.)
 3) thru any program.
I think this might be because it might not be initialized.  The [rather incomp-
lete] manual says the printer will be initialized if a ~PRIME~ signal is 
recieved, and if a printer reset command is recieved.  I can find the latter,
but the manual does not describe what a PRIME signal is.   
 a) if you can tell me, please respond.
 b) if you know what would be causing this, please repsond.
 
Please respond by EMAIL only.
