+videofx Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have my SMM804 and connected to my 850 and my 800. I am using a single sheet of paper as I don't have any continuous feed paper. The problem is the paper never never moves. If I do a self test it does. for example I do the following: 10 LPRINT "TEST" 20 LPRINT 30 LPRINT 40 LPRINT "TEST This should move the paper and least 2 lines which it doesn't prints on the same line. I don't have the SMM804 so I don't know if there is a switch to set CR, LF Anyone have a PDF of the manual? Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The XMM801 is the same printer. There is a PDF Of the manual on this page. http://www.atarimania.com/documents-atari-400-800-xl-xe-manuals_2_8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Could the problem be the 850? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+videofx Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thanks. I tried CHR$(155) which is supposed to do a carriage return and line fee but it never does, but when I do the self test it does line feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+videofx Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) It a setting in the printer. The XMM801 doesn't tell you how to change the settings. Ill bet you a Coke if I can find the setting for AUTO LINE FEED and turn it ON then LPRINT should work. I Wrote this program and it works and the paper line feeds correctly so now I know the problem. So if anyone know how to change the default settings of the XMM804 or has the manual I would appreciate it very much! Here is what works: Edited January 26, 2020 by videofx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymanone Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm not sure if that could help, but at the end of the following Wiki entry you will find something about the SMM804 DIP switches.. It is in German, but you can certainly understand it or have it translated... -> Newtosworld Wiki SMM804 Gtx., andY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Jumper block PSW Standard setting: 1 = open, 2 = closed, 3 = closed, 4 = open Meaning: = Connects jumper 1/2 to ground. You can probably use this to set the autofeed signal to ground for the printer. = Treatment of signal autofeed on Centronics interface (pin 14) = Treatment signal (NC / GND) on Centronics interface (pin 16 + 33). These two pins 16 and 33 are either not used on the standard Centronics interface or on ground. = Treatment of signal select-in on Centronics interface (pin 36). The signal select-in is by default set to low by jumper 3 and is separated from the centronics interface by open jumper 4. Dss means that the printer cannot be deactivated by the computer. Warning: Jumper 1 + 2 or 3 + 4 must probably not be inserted at the same time. Otherwise the corresponding signal output on the computer could be short-circuited to ground and damaged. Conclusion: leave it at the standard setting! DIP switch DSW Standard setting: 1 = off, 2 = on, 3-6 = off, 7 = on, 8 = off Meaning: Unclear, everything is read out from the port module TMP8155P-2. error pattern Printer does not print, the printer says that the printer is offline. Online LED is on. Solution: The busy signal is not switched by the printer. Replace the 74LS38 on the interface daughter board, pin 8 generates the busy signal. If that doesn't help: The 74LS38 is controlled by the Toshiba TMP8155P-2 IO / RAM module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 This looks like a service manual update. If this is your picture, can you some time when you get a chance scan all four pages (if you have the other pages and if you have a scanner) so I can add it to the XE and ST 801 service manuals?

Actually it’s from the Dealer Service Alert letters ... which I never knew existed. I’ll be scanning them shorty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Now that I think about it, the only one online is the XMM801 which I got from Bruce at B&C. I had planned on getting the SMM804 version but it just didn't happen. The last I knew he still had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyjones70 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I have partially disassembled my 804, and DS1(1-8) switches are easily seen, where are the second set of dip switches (DS2 (1-4)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
