Message-ID: <25824@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Date: 12 Jul 90 06:27:45 GMT Reply-To: fmgst@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Filip Gieszczykiewicz) Organization: The Last Jedi Lines: 30 Greetings. I got a printer at a swap-fest with no info what-so-ever + it was broken. I fixed it (the PS blew) but have no documentation at all. The printer: Integral Data Systems 440 Paper Tiger Printer Model # 440 It has a db-25 connector and a patch for an Apple II 20 pin header, ribbon cable. 1) Is it parallel or serial? 2) There are 2 dip switches, what do they do. I guess I could play around, but... Thank you for any replies. Take care and have fun (in that order :-) P.S. Why such a large distribution? Because the printer was made in 78-79's and it can run off 220V 50Hz.. so someone in Europe or elsewhere might have one. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."
