The Connecting Cable
Use the cable available from your Gemini dealer, or you can make
your own cable according to the pin configuration chart below.
Setting the DIP Switches
Turn switches 2-3 and 2-4 to the "off" position on your Gemini, and
set switch 2-1 as you like. Switch 2-2 should be set "off" if you want
Gemini to print every time it receives a CR code; set it "on" if you
wish to have the carriage return ignored and printing only when
the buffer is full.
The Use of BASIC
All the sample programs provided in this user's manual will run
"as is" using Microsoft BASIC. If you are a first-time user, you
should start with the CPM software and reset the "printer" con-
figuration from "serial" to "Centronics." Then load MBASIC and
go for it.
When you want to change the number of columns in printing,
substitute
WIDTH LPRINT 132
(or any acceptable number)
instead of
WIDTH "LPT
# 1";132
(as used by IBM-PC).
Pin Configurations

The following chart shows the pin-outs for Gemini printers and
