Help! A friend just got a job with a non-profit organization that's
using some rather old equipment, including a Star SG-15 dot-matrix
printer. Apparently, the last time it was moved, someone set all
twelve of the dip switches to the on position. It no longer works.
They have no manual. The only person there who has used the thing
doesn't know how it was set, other than he knows that "4 or 5" of
the switches were not in the on position. I spent quite a while
looking at the thing and determined that there was no one switch
that would make it work, and that the software they were using did
expect it to be a Star SG-15, so it's not trying to emulate something
else. There is no dip switch information stamped on the machine anywhere.
Anyway, does anyone have a manual for this beast? Or some idea of
what the default configuration might be? There are two groups of
switches, one of 8 and the other of 4....
thanks,
