[comp.periphs.printers] DMP 130 Info Needed

abc@adm.BRL.MIL (Brinton Cooper) (07/31/90)

Hello,

	I just purchased a Tandy (Radio Shack) DMP 130 dot matrix
printer at a local HamFest.  It works fine and gave no problems on an
ordinary, text-only, hookup where no escape sequences were needed.

	However, the printer test routine reveals a rich and varied
character set.  I'd like to know the ESCape sequences by which we can
access it.  Also, I'd generally like to know all the handshakes, etc.

	I will be trying to purchase a manual from RS but am not
optimistic.  Does anyone know what the DMP 130 is or is similar to?  I
thought it might have been an Epson LX-80, but the ribbons don't fit,
and I see that I need the Seikosha SP 1000 ribbons.  So, perhaps that's
what it is.  But does this help?  Can I get a manual for the Seikosha?
Does anyone have a mail/address or phone # for Seikosha?

	Please post or send e-mail; e-mail is preferred as news articles
expire here in 5 days or less.

	Thanks,

_Brint
