#Panasonic KXP1091 Prob.
5 messages in this thread
Is anyone out there successfully using the Panasonic KXP-1091 with their
Amiga?
My sister has a printer I once used with my A1000 but that she has sinced
flipped DIP switches on to use with another computer. Now that she has an
A500 to connect it to, she's getting funny characters. Someone else MUST
have installed this successfully, and I'd appreciate if you could tell me
the DIP switch settings and printer driver used on your system.
We've changed the cable, used a couple of different drivers, and flipped
the obvious DIP switch candidates, to no avail. The strange thing is that
while MOST characters print correctly, certain ones are substituted with a
predictable pattern. (This pattern is using the ASCII character two below
the expected character, only for SOME letters.)
The printer runs self-test (and still runs with their older computer) OK,
and the cable has been changed, so it can't be hardware. Can anyone help?

I use a KXP 1091i with my A500 and have experienced absoulutly no problems
what so ever. I believe I'm using the factory default DIP settings and the
EpsonX nor the EPSONX[MPS-1000..something or other] driver. What program
of process are you printing out with?

Craig,
I'm just trying to TYPE > PRT: a test file I created for the purpose,
containing nothing but ASCII text created with TxEd. Problem is, we
started with what the Panasonic manual said was the factory presets and got
these character substitutions. Can you restate what the 8 switches are set
at for you?
The truly mysterious part is that just a FEW characters get garbled. If
everything failed the answer would be obvious, but CONSISTENTLY moving
specific characters down by 2 seems like a predictable enough pattern. I
just wish I knew how to FIX it!

From left to right, my DIP switches are set:
U D D D U U U D
Where 'U' is up and 'D' is Down

Craig,
Thanks a lot! I'll pass this on to my sister and hope it fixes her
problem. If it doesn't, I'll have to find a way for them to test their
machine with a different printer (they're just aboutu ready to buy a new
printer out of frustration).
You've been a great help.
