I am trying to hook up my Model 100 to my Okidata 82
printer through the RS232 port of the Model 100.
Can anyone help me figure out what commands to type (lets
say to print a text file?)  Are four pins sufficient
(2,3,7,20)?  Do any of the pins have to be reversed?

Any advice would be appreciated.  I am trying to avoid
having to pay $xxx dollars for the RS cable and printer.

Thanks,

G. Steinberg
