Eventually I have managed to put my design to work. The problem was the encoding of the signal, not the hardware. It happens that the signal is preceded by a burst that is badly specified on the documentation. I have had to open the printer and measure the actual signals received from an actual HP calculator. This way I discovered that my start signal was wrong. Now it works ! ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=99213#m99676 Need assistance?
