Hi. I recently inherited an Apple serial printer, 80 Columns, Model #
A9M0303. Unfortunately I received it without a manual.

I have it connected to an IBM PC, and it works OK , at 9600 baud. However,
it never raises CTS, so it only works with cts tied high. This causes the
printer's internal buffer(?) to be overrun after a page or so, causing
garbage output. There are two banks of switches accessible, but none of
them appear to control the baud.

My question is this: how can I either 1. enable the rs-232 handshaking, or
2. set the baud rate lower?

All and any help will be appreciated, and I will also put in a good word
with Santa for you.
