Hello:   I recently bought a Star SG-10 Dot Matrix Printer from 
one of my friend and I am having problems.  I have connected it
to my IBM/286 machine (Hyundai PC compatible).

The test printing comes out fine when I hold the line-feed button
while switching the power supply on.  However, when I connect it 
to my computer, and try printing say "DIR > LPT2", only part
of the directory gets printed -- it skips characters inbetween
and some lines too.  For example, "echo 'abcdefghijklmn' > LPT2",
will print something like "abcdeikn" !   I think the problem is
in the setting of the DIP switches.  Since I dont have the manual,
I an unable to set the correct configuration.  Right now, I have
DIP switches set to:   (1) 1-8 = ON
                       (2) 1 = ON, 2 = OFF, 3 = OFF, 4 = ON.
Is this correct ?  

Can anyone send me more information on this printer ?  Any help
would be very much appreciated.  Is there anywhere I can purchase
a copy of this printer's manual ?

Thanks in advance for the help.
