Can someone help me with a little information on the
meaning of the switches on a COMREX CR-1 ComRiter Letter
quality (old) printer.  It has two 8 postion dips behind
a plastic cover on the left side of the printer.  I
don't have the manual.  I have the thing working but
I can't seem to get it to handshake.  Anybody have the
cable pinouts worked out?  However, must be something
in the dip options since I don't see anything available
that is indicating buffer full.  (DTR, doesn't drop)
Also interesting is that DTR drops when I take it off
line, but only once.  The subsequent times the online
light goes out but DTR doesn't drop.

Please help.. my current cable looks like..
