IEEE-488
Interface
The MPP-1361
Printer
conforms
to
IEEE-488
interface
requirements and
may
be connected
directly to
your
Commodore
computer.
The
printer
is
designed
to
be used
with the
Commodore
CBM
Floppy Disk Drives
and
may
be
daisy-chained with other
IEEE-488
devices.
Paper
Feed Mechanisms
The MPP-1361

employs
both a
tracter
feed
and a
friction
feed mechanism.
You
can use
either pin-fold
paper
or
no
pin-fold
paper.
To
select
a
tracter
feed or
a
friction
feed, the
Feed
Select
Lever
(on the
left
side
of
mechanism)
is
used.
FEED

The MPP-1361
Printer
has two
FEED BUTTON. One
is
the
FORM TOP

the other
is
the
LINE
FEED
button.

one page

one

Printer
Ribbon
The
printer
ribbon
(shown
in
Figure

is
an
easily-loaded cartridge.
Internal
Microprocessor
System
Your
printer
contains
a microprocessor system
that
resets
and executes a
diagnostic
and
initialization
sequence
when
power
is
applied.
In
addition,
it
contains a
random access
memory
(RAM)
in
which you can
store formatting data.
Because
your
printer
is
an
"intelligent"
peripheral,
it
uses none
of
your computer's
memory.
