Chris Kent has hit the nail on the head.  It's the auto-disconnect
"feature" of the console DECwriter.  If it's bugging you, here's
how to turn it off:

push SETUP and hold it down.

Press 'D'.  The display will show '1' (meaning auto-disconnect is on).
Press 'D' again, and the display should change to a '0'.

Press SHIFT-9.  This saves away the current settings.  The display
will go blank for a short while.

Finally, relese the SETUP key.

Voila!  Does wonders for the paper usage.
