Bill,

The 8th bit is not needed by the printer to print correctly.  The machine will punch it but if you look at the code bars there is no connection to the carriage.  The codebars are labeled on the right side next to all the codebar springs.  You might have to clean the label bar.

Good luck.

Hi.  I was wondering what might cause pin/channel 8 to always go inverse of what was typed at the keyboard.  Results in the wrong character to print.  For example, if the ascii character was --34-6-- , the character printed would be --34-6-8.

If the character was --34-6-8 , the character printed would be --34-6--

Thanks
