What if I want to install an optional serial interface
board?
Install the optional interface as detailed in the User's
Manual.
Then set the dip switches on the printer to the
parallel position and then set the dip switches on the
optional interface board to enable it.
Which optional serial interface boards will work?
The two current serial interface boards that work are the
8143 and the 8148.
If I want to use the built-in serial interface on the
printer,
what cable do I use?
Epson markets two cables that allow direct connection to
personal computers.
When connecting the 6 pin DIN to an
IBM PC/XT or compatible DB-25 serial port use cable #8297.
When connecting to an IBM AT or compatible 9 pin serial port
use cable #CA-070.
Does the LQ-850/950/1050 support the legal character set?
The LQ-950 does have the legal character set built in.
The
LQ-850/1050 needs the upgrade kit (kit #LQ850/1050U) to
support the legal characters.
What is the upgrade kit for the LQ-850/1050?
The upgrade kit, #LQ850/1050U, upgrades the printer to allow
the use of the new dual bin cut sheet feeder (product code
for the LQ-850 =
#7346 and for the LQ-1050 = #7348).
What does the upgrade kit contain?
It has a new P-ROM, instruction sheet, an errata sheet and
a new user's manual.
Is the upgrade kit for the LQ-950 too?
No, the LQ-950 comes standard with the upgrade built in.
