Epson dot matrix DOS software - repeating characters

[peterjs]

Hi!

I would like to ask your for assistance in configuring the Retro Printer module with an Epson dot matrix printer. The issue I'm facing is, that some characters are missing and some are repeated in the printout. It looks like some sort of a timing issue. So instead of getting EUR in the header row, the output is either EUUR, URR or UR. Which is close enough, but not quite there The other word in the header should be "Mnozstvo".

Any ideas about how to tweak the settings for a valid output?

Code: Select all

Thanks for the lovely product Rich. I will certainly get back to you soon on the Sysmex analyzer topic discussed earlier via email.

The first step here is to ensure that you are using the v3.8 software.

Also, try increasing the /root/config/printer_delay setting (to say 25)

Did you resolve this issue.

We do have various handshaking options which can be tried also - they are not documented, as they alter the sequence of busy / acknowledge signals.
