Don't tell me you put the grappler in slot three...no, no, no.


A while back, I called Orange Micro, 800-776-2333, and asked for info on 
the grappler. They sent me a sheet showing settings for several models of 
grappler. More info than I want to type here. Tell me what printer you 
have connected to the card and I will send you the switch settings to 
match the grappler to the printer.

I think that the switch settings are for letting the grappler 
automatically dump graphics to the printer from a special BASIC command. 
But, I do not have the info on that feature. I suspect that the switches 
are not used in simple I/O (i.e., PR#1, and type from the keyboard) 
(assuming that the grappler is in slot 1, where it belongs).

For an EPSON printer, the settings are: 1,2,3,4 = off, on, on, on
