Does Pin 18 provide +5v
Hi there I just recieved a Micrografix Parallel Printer Graphic Interface MW-350 for the C-64. Normally it depends on power from the printer. Pin 18 on a printer supplies +5v. I was wondering if the printer port on the Retro-printer supplies +5v at Pin 18. If not, I might need to get a AC adapter, but first need to do further testing and need to get more info. on the power supply. I have tried two different Cardco interfaces (Card Printer B and Card Printer +G).Haven't got these to work, but I think with all of the interfaces, the coponents might need to be placed. I have another Micrografix MW-350 coming tomorrow that has the push-button still on it. The MW-350's have HP Thinkjets list as printers that can be used. (dip switches). Since I have a HP Envy 5530 printer, thought I might have better luck with these interfaces.Take care.

Yes, we do supply +5v on Pin 18 (on the v4 Retro-Printer only) - you may need to ensure that the jumper is in place as per section 1.7 of the manual. Likewise, +5v is supplied on pins 13 and 32 by default (but can also be disabled by virtue of these jumpers).
