Figure 1-7
Take a minute to gawk at all the stuff in the box. Wow! As Custer said, “Look
at all those . . . ” well, anyway.
Wonder how they sell it as cheap a they do? (Hope it prints as good as it looks.)
The Epson Connection
Figure l-7 shows the location of the moveable wire. It is between the 2 “pull
top” terminals, and is labeled “auto.
” To release the wire from one terminal for
transfer to the other, pull up gently on its colored top. To lock a wire in place,
insert it fully in a terminal and press the colored top down. Pull gently on the
wire to be sure it is securely locked.
If the “auto” wire is connected to the red (or orange) terminal, the printer relies
on the computer to send its own LF along with CR. That’s what’s needed for
Apple-type computers.
If the “auto” wire is connected to the white terminal, a LF will automatically be
added when a CR is received from the computer. This is what’s needed for the
TRS-80 and most other computers.
Terrific. So where do we put the wire for our computer?
