Curt, Do a self-test and the printout will show you what the config is. Go offline, hold TEST until 4. shows up on the panel, release then hit enter. After 30 seconds you'll get a printout. The info you want is at the top, so you can hit online to terminate test early. If the parms are not what you want you'll have to change items 20 and 22 to get it right. Also you can use printer type 22 which has the status checking. And, yes the 2-3-7 works!

I configured a ldev on a DTC with term type 18, speed 9600, parity none. Redownloaded the DTC config. Tried to print and all I get is one line of garbage. Can someone tell me if I need to change the printer config thru the panel on the printer? Do I have the ldev config right? Do I need a special printer cable or will a 2-3-7 pin cable work?
