Re: HP42S + HP82240 information needed Message #9 Posted by James M. Prange on 2 Nov 2004, 7:49 a.m., in response to message #8 by Thomas Okken
Sorry, the printer manuals don't have any example printouts from a 42S, or any other readily identifiable calculator either.
The only example printouts are from the self-test, and very brief printouts from who-knows-what calculator showing what they print for an uncorrectable data error and for an input buffer overrun. The character set tables show the dots (visible with a magnifier) in the characters too, but I don't think that that's what you want.
For what you want, I think that you need someone who has a 42S and a printer to print some examples for you.
Note that an 82240B should work as well; it has the same "Roman 8" character set as the 82240A by default, and can be switched to the modified "ECMA 94" character set with an escape sequence.
The font for ASCII characters with descenders is modified on the 82240B, to not use the bottom row of dots. On the 82240A, the bottom row dots are used in these characters, so they can appear to be "merged" with a character that has a top row dot on the line below.
Regards, James
