Printing Graphics on the 1550 Printer

It is possible to demonstrate the graphics capability of the C.Itoh 1550 printer from the graphics demonstration disc. This is done by typing "P" when the graphics routine required to be printed is being displayed on the VDU, eg. pie charts. This causes the graphics program to produce pixel dump to the printer.

In order to achieve this the following adjustments must be made to the printer and cable

1. The switches on the printer should be set as follows:

     SW 1    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
             C C O O O C C C

     SW 2    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
             O O O O O C O C

     where C = Closed  and  O = Open
