Note: If you do not use a dot command, or omit page numbers, as
described above, the P-80 stops printing near the bottom of the
page. Although printing has stopped, the printer and the com-
puter remain in the print stage. To end your print session, in
WordStar, press the P to stop print and then Y to abandon
print.
If you are going to be using WordStar most of the time, you can
tape a business card or a small piece of paper over the paper-out sen-
sor. Then you can easily print to the bottom of your page.
When you are using single-sheet paper and have more than one
page in a document, you will need to activate the print pause com-
mand. The print pause command keeps the printer from printing
without any paper and allows you to, change sheets. The print pause
command is one of the print options displayed when you press P to
print-from the main menu in WordStar. Select Y for yes for the printer
to pa&e between pages. You can also insert a print pause code in your
document. See Chapter 7 of your Geneva Portable WordStar Refer-
ence Manual. Be sure to line the top of your sheet of paper with the
serrated edge on the printer as the printer expects 66 print lines (the
default in WordStar).
If a particular function exists on WordStar, but not on the P-80, the
printer will ignore the command to execute this function. For exam-
ple, if you want to print in Elite, the P-80 will ignore this command
since it does not have this capability. Before using print commands in
your software applications, check to see that they are available on the
P-80 by consulting Appendix C in this manual.
Connecting the Geneva to the P-80
The P-80 uses the RS-232C serial interface and is factory set at 4800
baud. This is the appropriate setting for use with the Geneva. Your
Geneva can be set to the RS-232C or serial interface using the CON-
FIG command. Consult your Geneva User’s Manual. RS-232C is the
factory setting for the Geneva.
You need Epson cable #723 to connect the Geneva to your P-80 as
shown in Figure D-l. When you plug the cable into your Geneva, be
sure you insert it into the serial port designated in the CONFIG com-
mand. If the designation is RS-232C, plug the cable into the serial port
marked RS-232C.
