- Hi there,
-
- I've just got a WANG LPS/8 from a local computer sellout. Only - it came
- without any docs.
-
- Calling the local WANG-Tech didn't do me any good. He only confirmed that
- the 25 pin female sub-d connector was in fact RS-232, but couldn't say
- anything about baud rates or parity settings. Also he spoke about microcode
- being loaded from the host.....
-
- Now here I am, capable of taking the printer apart, capable of sending it
- data at any give baud rate and other setting, capable of making it print
- some test pages, but otherwise clueless.
-
- Also, I'm wondering how you you can handle a printer with just one button...
-
- Any clues?
-
- Bernie
