I am new to serial printers and Imagewriter II's and don't know a whole heck of a lot about them. My old MX-100 and Microfazer would buffer anything and let me get back to whatever I was doing while the document printed and I'd like the same thing to happen with my new Imagewriter II. Will a buffer like the Orange Micro one allow AWGS to dump everything into it and allow me to keep on doing something else? Thanks. ---- UUCP: {nosc, uunet!cacilj, sdcsvax, hplabs!hp-sdd, sun.com} ...!crash!pnet01!pro-sol!pro-nsfmat!pro-europa!paulh ARPA: crash!pnet01!pro-sol!pro-nsfmat!pro-europa!paulh@nosc.mil INET: paulh@pro-europa.cts.com - BITNET: pro-europa.uucp!paulh@psuvax1 ALPE: PaulH54 -/- GEnie: p.hutmacher -/- MCI: 326-8034
