    Rick,

       I had a similar problem with a Diablo 620.  The problem was solved by
    adding a null modem adapter to the serial cable.  I have not had any
    problems since that time.  
    
                                 Paul Taira

    BTW,  Would anyone be interested in purchasing a Diablo 620 printer.  
    It has has all the manuals and it true letter quality.  It also has
    a tractor feed and three different font wheels.  Say, $200 for the printer.
    Please e-mail for more info.
