I need help setting up an AT&T 458 printer for use with a unix pc.
I currently have the dip sw settings set as follows
switch 1 1off 2on 3on 4on (Correspondence printwheel)
switch 2 1on (6 lines/in)
2off (stop within 133chars of full buffer)
3on (linefeed after carriage return)
4off (not used)
5on (7bit data)
6on (rs232 enable)
7on (odd parity) (even does not work I get garbage )
8on (one stop bit)
switch 3 1off 2on 3on (9600 baud)
4on (rs232 enable)
5on (enable parity settings)
6off 7off (dtr signal)
8on (clear to send disabled)
switch 4 1off 2on 3off 4on 5on 6on 7on 8on (factory default settings)
The printer is receiving data but is losing characters.
What is wrong and what do I have to do to make it work ?
