Hello Netlanders, This may be the wrong forum to use for this question but hopefully someone out there can help or direct me to a more appropo net group. I have a new C.Itoh CIT-101e terminal. It emulates both VT52 and VT100 command sequences. I have hooked up an Okidata 93s printer to the bidirectional serial port. I am running all ports at 1200 Baud. I can't seem to find the right set up or right VT100 command sequence to get the printer to work. The cable and equipment has been checked out and seems fine. Can anyone help me with the switch setting for the equipment or with the VT100 command sequence? I have been working for hours on this, Help!!

^Q to unlock I/F. With hardware handshake make sure DTR and DCD are high as required by CIT-101e(see manual for required lines). Check Okidata for RS-232 pinout. Some printers do not raise the right RS-232 line, and the cable must be rewired to make the terminal happy. The largest problem I have seen is a printer with hardware handshake and the terminal with X/on X/off handshake. Some characters are lost because the X/off signal is not fast enough to respond to the hardware signal. good luck mlsmith@NADC.ARPA

According to my manual for a CIT 101, Ctrl-PF4 will activate the
bidirectional port and Shift-PF4 will deactivate the port.
