Troubleshooting and Advanced Features
This appendix presents explanations of the LX-90's advanced fea-
tures and solutions for possible problems. If you have trouble or want
to know more about some of the LX-90 features, consult the appropri-
ate section in this appendix.
Installation of Commercial Software Programs
Many commercial software programs require that you specify
which printer you are using. Because the LX-90 has many capabilities
but is not listed on the menus of many software programs, you may
want to experiment a bit to see which choice will be best for your
program. A few examples may help.
For WordStar® install the printer as a serial printer and as COM1:
with 1200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 2 stop bits. Also use
WordStar's install program to remove all codes from the initializa-
tion sequence. Removing the codes from the initialization sequence
allows SelecType to work correctly. Follow the instructions in the
WordStar manual for custom installation, and consult your dealer
if you need more information.
For Artpak™ use the "Set-up of System" operation to select Epson
with Graftrax. Also select the alternate character set with DIP
switch 1 - 6 (see Appendix D) because Artpak uses some of the con-
trol codes above 137 decimal.
Even if you are not using either of these programs, the settings for
one of them may work for your program. Consult the manual for
your software. If you are still not sure, consult your dealer or simply
try different options. Remember to try changing DIP switch 1-6 if you
do not get the correct results. (See Appendix D.) If the installation
program asks whether your printer can backspace, choose non-back-
spacing.
