Subject: IBM 3816 Page Printer Installation Tips
Date: July 25, 1990

PROBLEM: We had problems getting an IBM 3816 page printer (SERIAL,
COM printer) to work with Pserver and Rprinter. Our PSERVER would start
sending to the printer buffer, about a page would print emptying out the
buffer, then the printer would not tell PSERVER to continue sending to the
3816 print buffer. It turned out to be a handshaking problem. We were
using the latest print server software.
SOLUTION: The pin settings were changed to the following:
1. pc pin 2 goes to pin 3 on the printer.
pc pin 3 goes to pin 2 on the printer.
pc pin 4 goes to pin 5 on the printer.
pc pin 5 goes to pin 20 on the printer.
pc pin 6 goes to pin 4 on the printer.
pc pin 7 goes to pin 7 to establish grounding.
pc pin 8 is jumpered on pin 4 on printer.
2. Also make sure Dip switch 6 is on. Switch 6 asserts DTR
(Data Terminal Ready). All others should be off except for 1-3 which
adjust your speed.
3. XOFF/XON was set to ON in pconsole.
These settings got RPRINTER to work correctly.
