Sharp MZ-800 - Page 160

(3) Other printers
Switching switches 2 and 3 of the system switch OFF allows you to use a printer equipped with a Cen-
tronics interface. However, some commercially available printers which are sold as Centronics stan-
dard printers do not actually comply with the Centronics Standard and therefore cannot be used.
Some printers have character code sets different from that used by the MZ-1P16 or MZ-80P5(K) printer.
These types of printers can be used but may require special programming to allow full utilization of
all the features of the MZ-800.
