Subject: Connecting LN03R to TEK PS
We have been trying, with the help of Tektronix reps, to connect a DEC LN03R
Scriptprinter to a Tektronix Phaser Printstation. There is a serial port
available on the Printstation, and the techies from Tektronix say that it
works fine with an Apple LaserWriter (no versions or other qualifying
letters). Conversely, the LN03R works fine when using the LaserWriter II
drivers from most Windows applications (e.g. ALLWAYS). However, we can't seem
to get past the initialization stage between the Printstation and the LN03R.
The error which is related back is that the Offending Command is "exit
server". The instructions which come with the Printstation include some help
for connecting a LaserWriter IINTX to this particular serial port. However,
we can't seem to get past the initialization point to proceed with any further
instructions to see if this will work.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Thanks in advance.
