I had forgotten that there are at least three different versions of
the ThinkJet. I have the HPIB version,  the 2225A, which does not have
an alternate mode - or it may be merely undocumented. DIP switch 5 is
used for address selection. 

I recall seeing that the 2225C, the serial version did in fact have
some additional features, including a switvh for setting alternate
mode. IF this is the one that the original poster was asking about,
he should be able to get it to work by setting the switch 
appropriately. If it is the HPIB version, I'm afraid he's S.O.L.
