| I wasn't aware of a parallel option for the LN03.
You could use a parallel to serial converter...

| If you flip dip switch 1-1 to on, the test sheet that prints out
tells you that you are now accepting parallel input. Does this mean
that you are running parallel over the RS232 port or does it mean
that you need to buy a Centronics board to get parallel protocol
up and running?
And if you can run parallel over the serial port, what kind of cable
would you use between the A1000 and the LN03?
Somebody must know the LN03 + well enough to answer this question.
Anybody?

| Hmm,
interesting, I would suggest a visit to the hardware tech. information
on the LN03s for this. I can have a look at field service info
tomorrow (no I don' work for FS), or alternatively someone else somewhere
may have the answer (or at their finger tips)
Regards

Or try the REGENT::LN03 conference.

| Good thinking John...
Nice to see people up on the other side of the world.

| 2965.6 | A bit late but | DPDMAI::ANDERSONA | This space for rent | Tue Oct 10 1989 23:24 | 19 |
| This may be a bit late but I looked in the LN03 installation guide this
morning and it stated that switch position was "parallel (future use)".
Last weekend I was messing around with a LN03+ driver and CMD. I
wanted to print some black and white images from Digiview through the
driver to a file. I was then going to copy to the file to a MS Dos disk
then take it to the office and print it on a LN03 connected to a Rainbow.
With the parallel port selected as the printer and CMD redirecting the
parallel ports output to a file both Posters and Deluxe Photo Lab did
nothing. Selecting the Serial port under preferences and changing CMD
to redirect the serial port I got the file from both Deluxe Photo Lab
and Posters.
After all that the LN03 got an error 1 which is "Data to Complex". All
I got was about a 1/8 inch line on top of the paper.

You need more RAM in your LN03. Buy a RAM pack - LN03X-CR.

I thought that the RAM packs were only for downline loaded fonts (not
bitmapped graphics). The LN03+ comes with 1Meg of memory on the mother board.
RE: -2
Yes I found the documentation that said that the parallel option was future
use also but forgot to post that here. I finally set up an A/B switch between
my modem and the LN03. It's not so bad.

Oops, your right. I knew it was RAM somewhere :-)

| 2965.10 | It had two Ram packs | DPDMAI::ANDERSONA | This space for rent | Sun Oct 15 1989 00:43 | 7 |
| It had two Ram packs installed.
Thats ok Iff2ps20 and our office Script Printer (Sales gets all the
good stuff) did the trick.
