  My MX-80 is a golden oldie, purchased at the Trenton Computer Fair
Number 2! (or was it 3?) $449 without the GrafTrax. What a deal!! I've
seen friends go through 2 or 3 iterations of Gemini printers while old
faithful still cranks it out, slowly but surely. I did pick up the
GRAFTRAX+ roms a couple years ago at a Heath close out. All it needs is
a good vacuuming and a new ribbon now and then. 

  Here are the settings from Appendix E of the MX Printer Manual.

			ON				OFF

	SW1-8	Select fixed			Select not fixed
	SW1-7	Slashed Zero			Regular Zero
	SW1-6	Buzzer on 			Buzzer off
	SW1-5	Emphasized			Normal (print default)
	SW1-4	Italic				Normal
	SW1-3	Paper out sensor off		Paper out sensor on
	SW1-2	Not used			Not used
	SW1-1	Compressed			Normal	

	SW2-4	1 inch skip over perf on	Normal
	SW2-3	Auto LF with CR			LF must be from host
	SW2-2	Not used			Not used
	SW2-1	Not used			Not used

 To prevent the double spacing set SW2-3 to the OFF position.
