I have a DEC Rainbow 100 and would like to connect a Panasonic KXP-1180 to
it.  I also have a Serial-to-Parallel converter with the following settings
4800 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity inhibit, DCE.  The Rainbow has
the following settings for the printer: 4800 baud, 8 data bits, parity none.
The end result of connecting the converter between the Rainbow and the
printer is that only the first several lines of a full page document are
printed ... this is consistent with all documents and spreadsheets.  Any
ideas on a solution or on what could be causing the problem?  Thanks.
