- # The PK-232 seems to have a rather awkward way of handling the parity
- # bit. It can NOT be controlled from this file but it is worth noting that
- # at the moment the safest way I have found to use the PK-232 is to use
- # the default par 3 (even parity), awlen 7, 8bitconv off, and then run
- # mb with the -t flag set so that it strips the high order bit from
- # all received data from the PK-232. I didn't run into this with the PK-88
- # so I presume that the PK-88 generates space parity properly.

- # Another strange thing with the PK-232. It is quite dry in my room (I get
- # static jolts occasionally when I touch any grounded metal) and I'm now
- # running a humidifier in the room to help. I noticed that the PK-232 will
- # randomly reset itself or just hang up so that it won't accept anything
- # unless it is powered down and back up again. This is almost certainly
- # caused by the static in here. I've had the PK-232 reset when I touch the
- # printer to turn it on.
- # I have not had this problem with the KAM nor with the PK-88.
