1420.0. "MEGA STE ==> Serial LJ250" by EVTAI1::RENOUVEL () Tue Jan 31 1995 09:53

    
    
    	Well, I have a ATARIS 4 Mega STE (with detached Keyboard),and 
    	would like to connect my LJ250 on it.
    
    	The Atari works fine with an CITIZEN printer.
    	How do I have to do to make my serial Printer LJ250 with the atari?
    	Do I need a Straight or crossed Cable ?
    
    	What are the steps to declare this printer ?
    
    	Thanks a lot for your help..
    
    	Patrick.

    Patrick,
    
    You would need to cross the receive and transmit wires on one side of
    the serial cable. I should think that you would only require 3 signals
    for it to work - RECEIVE, TRANSMIT and SIGNAL GROUND.
    You would also have to set up the baud rate etc in the control panel
    to match the printer settings.
    
    Hope this helps.
