Bauer) Distribution: usa Organization: Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY Lines: 8 I have a DEC Rainbow 100 and would like to connect a Panasonic KXP-1180 to it. I also have a Serial-to-Parallel converter with the following settings 4800 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity inhibit, DCE. The Rainbow has the following settings for the printer: 4800 baud, 8 data bits, parity none. The end result of connecting the converter between the Rainbow and the printer is that only the first several lines of a full page document are printed ... this is consistent with all documents and spreadsheets. Any ideas on a solution or on what could be causing the problem? Thanks.
