[ Article crossposted from comp.windows.ms ] [ Author was Kevin Routh ] [ Posted on 19 Apr 1993 12:35:55 GMT ] For your information: I hooked up my ImageWriter I to my COM1 serial port and used the C-Itoh 8510 driver in Windows 3.1. The cable I am using is a straight-thru cable connected to a Null Modem Adapter I got at Radio Shack (catalog #26-1496a) for $4.95. It seems to work fine with both DOS and Windows. I used the following command in DOS C:\DOS\mode COM1:9600,n,8,1,p and set up the port the same way in the Windows Ports setup. the Null Modem connections are as follows: 1 to 1 2 to 3 3 to 2 4 to 5 5 to 4 6+8 to 20 20 to 6+8 7 to 7 I printed from several applications and all seems OK. -- Kevin C.

Here's what I learned; I hope that you find it useful. The answer is that the ImageWriter is a C. Itoh 8510 in an Apple box. Windows has a driver for the 8510, so you should just be able to hook it up. Also, I was told the following: Cal the Itoh BBS at 714-660-1656 and download the following: PROEPSIM.COM - Makes your Imagewriter (Itoh) emulate an Epson PROIBM.COM - lets you emulate an IBM Proprinter (which is in GRAPHICS.COM). I hope that this is useful and not too late. I just learnt about it a week or two ago. _Brint
