[comp.periphs.printers] Panasonic KX-P1180 info needed

ART100@psuvm.psu.edu (Andy Tefft) (09/25/90)

A friend of mine got a Panasonic KX-P1180 from his brother without
a manual (interesting how many printer pirates there are out there (-:).
We needed to figure out which DIP switch controlled the 8th bit to
the printer so we played with them till we found out which one, but
we'd like to know the meanings of all the DIP switches.

I'm also curious as to the ribbon in this printer. It's tiny, which
to me says it's not gonna last long, but there's a little diagram on
the cartridge that says to press a little thing on it when the ribbon
gets too light - apparently this releases a reserve of ink? If so,
that's a neat idea.

Any help on this printer (including info on compatibility) will be
appreciated now. He intends to write for a manual when he can get
an address. Anyone have a good address to use?
