I don't know about that specific unit but when I bought a Tandy 2-printer
switchbox I had to cover pin 38 on the output side... even though I had
covered it on the input I found that somehow the Tandy circutry reinserted
the hardware line-feed...

I always attributed it to Tandy's effort to force you to buy only Tandy
peripherals by forcing Tandy standards on everything....
