770.0. "VS3500-CSA0-LJ250?" by 44182::MCKEATING () Thu May 11 1989 21:12

    I have a vs3500 using VMS 5.1 and DECwindows, I am having problems
    connecting an LJ250 to my CSA0 port, all i ever get is ????'s output.
    
    Has anyone got an LJ250 working from the CSA0 port of a VS3500?
    
    If so could you please reply with your CSA0 terminal setup, and
    the commands that you used to setup your printer queue.
    
    Thanks
    Bob

770.1Problem solved!44182::MCKEATINGFri May 12 1989 17:144
    speed problem, fixed by removing CPU cover and changing Baud rate
    to suit printer...
     

770.2Slight problem, hopefullyPETERJ::JOHNSONTue Dec 26 1989 12:487
I have a VAXstation 3100 and am using an LJ250 as a locally queued printer,
connected to the port with the printer icon on the back of the box (I think
it's TTA3:).  The problem I am having is that any lowercase characters print
things like the little horizontal tab and linefeed signs like you see if you do
a GOLD-V in WPS.

Am I doing something stupid?
770.3Escape sequence mysteriesREGENT::BROOMHEADDon't panic -- yet.Tue Dec 26 1989 17:1612
    Well, your LJ250 is using the VT100 (a.k.a. DEC Special) Line
    Drawing set instead of ASCII.  The sequence that invokes the
    former into G0 (where ASCII "belongs") is <esc>(0 and the one
    for the latter is <esc>(B .  Or you might be getting an <esc>n
    or an <esc>o , which (respectively) pull G2 or G3 into GL.  If
    you can't find it, you at least can fix it with:
    
    	<esc>(B<cntrl>O
    
    to put ASCII back in place.
