Copy WJG::AMIGA:LA50.ARC
download it to Amy, unarc and install it.
Then get into preferences and make LA50 the printer type

| It's not likely but if you've got an Amiga 1000 I don't think you
should be using the DEC cable.

| There is a note 14 on this database that tells how to hook the cable
or make if you will to your LA50. The file for connecting the LA50
is a real help and will give you all the info you need to make it
work. Good Luck.....

| 1188.5 | A handshaking problem on LA50 | HSK03::HAKALA | Tuomo Hakala, ES Finland | Thu Mar 17 1988 13:21 | 20 |
| Can anyone help with the following LA50 problem:
When I print a large file (ie many pages), after 3-4 pages my LA50
starts to skip letters/words and print extra question marks. Sometimes
it merely hangs. Seems like buffer overflow at the LA50 side or
something... The problem remains if I change the driver from LA50
to generic.
I've checked the dip swithes on LA50 and Amy's Preferences 100 times,
tried different combinations, different cables... I normally used
XON/XOFF on both sides. The strange thing is that everything worked
first fine, but after moving the whole system from another location
to the current place, this problem arised.
I still don't believe there is a hardware error on either side.
Am I missing something? Has anybody experienced anything like this?
Still hoping...

| 1188.6 | Frizz out | ELWOOD::PETERSJ | be nice or be dog food | Thu Mar 17 1988 13:38 | 5 |
| I had a simular problem with a printer at a customer site the problem
was a sensitive? board. The office was extremely dry and there was
a lot of static electricity and the board would frizz out. This
may or may not be your problem but it sounds the same.

| 1188.7 | Could be H/W problem | MLNVMS::MILOS | Milos Roberto SSU Milan | Thu Mar 17 1988 13:38 | 23 |
| Re .5
Yes I did experienced this behaviour two times!
Both times was an H/W problem,
First time was the ground pin (pin #7 ) of the cable that was broken.
The second time was a blown buffer chip inside the Amy that was
that caused the serial to miss the X-OFF coming from the LA50.
You can try to lower the baud rate on the serial line below ,say
600 Baud , I don't remeber if LA50 can work at 600 or it requires
300 Baud.
If the problem is caused by missing the X-OFF you should now be able
to print your files correctly, even if slowly.
Hope this helps
Regards...
Roberto.

| 1188.8 | Seems to be H/W problem | HSK03::HAKALA | Tuomo Hakala, ES Finland | Mon Mar 21 1988 14:10 | 7 |
| I've been experimenting a bit more with my LA50, and it really seems
that the problem IS H/W problem. I still don't know in which side
Amy or LA50.
Thanks for helpful comments!
