Ken, Okay, you forced me into action...And boy, do you owe me! <smile> I had
to hold the bed rail up with one arm while I yanked my plastic-bag wrapped
DMP2100P out with the other hand. I couldn't let go, because I would have
crunched the printer. (I keep it as a spare under the bed...) (Now that I've
instilled guilt...<sorry>: I am running the printer as an IBM Proprinter. I
have my DIP switches set as follows: ON: 3, 6, 7, 8...........OFF: 1,2,4,5
Remember that "ON" is switched toward you as you face the printer.
The switches: 1,2,3 control font selection as follows: High-speed draft
10cpi: 1,2,3 all OFF
High-speed draft 12 cpi: 1 ON, 2,3 OFF
High speed draft 16.7cpi: 1,3 OFF, 2 ON
HQ Elite 10cpi: 1,2 ON, 3 OFF
HQ courier 10cpi: 1,2 OFF, 3 ON
HQ Elite 12cpi: 1,3 ON, 2 OFF
HQ Elite Proportional: 1 OFF, 2,3 ON
HQ Courier Proportional: 1,2,3 all on
Switch 4: OFF: Data Processing Mode/ON: Word Processing Mode
Switch 5: OFF: Line Feed=Line Feed Only/ON: Line Feed= New Line
Switch 6: OFF: Carriage Return=New Line/ON: Carriage Return=Carriage Return
Switch 7: OFF: TRS Character Set/ON: IBM Character Set #1
Switch 8: OFF: TRS-80 Mode/ON: IBM PC Mode
Switch 8 may be the one you're looking for.
Best of luck.
