I have a Model 43 RO that I have been using with a computer for years. Recently I was experimenting with changing the line width. I run the printer at 300 baud and now when I print a long line, > 72 characters, sometimes the printer will miss the first few characters of the next line. I do not use CTS or RTS on the computer. I have them connected together so the computer will not wait if the printer is busy. I now want to make this work. I looked at the books and there is a 'Terminal Ready' line, which I think just says the printer is turned on, the cover is closed and there is no alarms. And there is a 'Send Data' line. I think this is the line I need to connect to the CTS (Clear To Send) on the computer. I didn't find an exact answer in any of the documents I have. Will this work? Will the Send Data line stop the computer should the printer be busy returning the carriage etal?? Thanks
