Hi all,
Earlier today, I received a CE-150, to go with my PC-1500A. When trying to use these two together though, the display shows two lines in the left half of the screen (see here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YFE2GE ... p=drivesdk) and when typing, it constantly acts as if <shift> was hit first.
I did run a quick test (in RUN mode, since I cannot access PRO mode in this setup) and found that a lprint command does get to the plotter and the plotter works correctly too.
Does anyone have any idea what is up here?
Kind regards,
Frank

Hello,
First, try a CALL &E000 This is the warm reset. Normally you should get the message NEW0? :CHECK or NEW0? :CHECK 8. This will "erase" all data incorrectly set and reinitialize all pointers. The "CHECK 8" will be displayed if the printer is not ready.
Do also UNLOCK just in case the modes are locked.
Secondly, are you sure you do not have a ROM module inserted, that overlaps with the printer itself ?
Good luck

Hi Christophe,
First of all, thanks for your reaction!
I tried the CALL &E000 - it gave a nice NEW0? :CHECK.
As to ROM modules, nope, I have nothing in there. Just a plain 1500A.
I decided to test a bit more - I set the computer to PRO mode, before switching it off and connecting the plotter. I then cloaded a program (globe), switched to RUN mode and ran it. The plotter worked perfectly for a while, until a gear broke (that is a separate problem, of course, which I will solve at a later time).
Do you (or anyone else) have any more ideas?
Grtz,
Frodo
