Yes, I use the Fargo with a switch box and no problems. Like several other
printers the Fargo is very sensitiv to signal alterations. That means, you
should allways use a very good(!) and very short printer cable. I highly
recommend good "Lindy" cables as they have proofen several thousand times
to work without any problems where other cables failed.
Beside the printer cable, it's also important you buy a good electronic
switch box. It's pretty dangerous to use a mechanic switch box on the
Amiga. Aren't you using a Studio driver allready (I just can remember your
name somehow)? In this case, have a look at the Studio manual for a very
good and cheap switch box I use (->arXon switch box!). The benefit of the
arXon switch box is also, you don't have to switch the box manualy. You
can setup the software to automaticly switch between printers by software
(the box is controlled by your second joystick port). And remember,
StudioDS for Fargo is just $25 for Studio users 😉 It's currently by
far(!) the best software for the Primera on the Amiga and saves you from
buying the photo realistic upgrade kit. (oups… that was the sales person
in me ;-).
