I'm looking for information about a dot-matrix printer called the 
Facit 4510.  It doesn't seem to respond to common sets of escape
sequences, including Epson.  However, there is a rotary switch
which appears to select proportional spacing.  In case you're
wondering, I purchased this used and it came without a manual.

I hope there's someone out there who can tell me which widely
available printer this little box emulates, or even what the
codes on the rotary switch all mean. (I figured out 10, 12, 17
and PS).  Ideally, I'd love to have a copy of the manual.

I also need to know what kind of ribbons to buy -- none of the
ones I've tried fit.
