- Could anyone assist me? I have a Toshiba PageLaser12 Printer and I recently
- purchased a second hand envelope feeder for same. Unfortunately it did not
- come with the required connecting cable. Toshiba advise me that I can buy
- a cable from them for $109. I think this is vastly overpriced as I could
- make one for around $20 (if I had to buy the pieces, which I don't).
-
- I have made a cable with all lines wire straight through but it doesnt work.
- Toshiba have also advised that they cannot (or will not) tell me how the
- cable is wired. Can anyone help me?
-
- Cable is from PageLaser12 to Envelope Feeder details as follows:
-
- P/L12 plug 25 pin "D" socket female
- Envelope Feeder 25 pin "D" socket female
- Cable 25 pin "D" plug male each end (ie. it has the pins)
-
- The Envelope Feeder only uses the following pins:
-
- 3 5 7 11 12 13 14
- 15 16 17 18 19 24 1 (earth)
-
- Pins 2 & 20 are blocked on the P/L12 and the Envelope Feeder.
-
- I posted this message some weeks ago and a number of respondants suggested
- I get a copy of the technical manual. Unfortunately, Toshiba Australia
- advised me that that the technical manuals are no longer available.
-
- many thanks
