#NEC printer hookup
3 messages in this thread
Just connected an NEC P2200 to my Amiga 1000 works great except for one minor
glitch. when I first plugged it in and tested it, everything printed double
spaced. I called NEC and found out that this is a problem common to Compac's
and Tandy's. Evidently also to Amiga. The CURE is to place a small piece of
scotch tape over pin 14 on the printer end of the ccable. This disables an
auto line feed signal on that line I did that and everything now works great.
Jerry, that's good news to a friend of mine… I will pass it along. Thanks.
Question: I have hooked up a P2200 to my Amiga 2k at the store and printed a
picture I had created in DPII with no line gaps what-so-ever. Do you think
that problem could be only when printing text? I think I need to hook it up
again and play a little more.

Thanks for the tip! I too was having problems with the double printing on the
NEC P2200, but after reading your message, I tried the tape trick and
everything is fine. Graphics still print out OK from DPaintII, so I guess the
extra line feed signal was only with text printing.
