Centronics GLP printer information

Centronics GLP 3101

Hello,
I have an old Centronics GLP (1!) dot matrix printer (model 3101, built ~1984) with serial and parallel interface. I find information about GLP2 but I need GLP1 information about the Dip-switches to control the printer. (GLP = great little printer)

I would to like use the printer to monitor a alarm-system with serial interface. But I need the real dip-switch positions.

So I need a Usermanual or information about the Dip-switches.

There are 2 Dip-switch-trim (switch-series) with each 8 dip-switches.

I will be very happy for any help.

Thankyou ...

Martina (German with bad language .lls, I hope you understand me)

Dear Mike,

thanks for your quick replay. In the mentioned website reported about GLP2 (GLPII = 3102, 3103); there are two switch-series with each 10 dip-switches. But in my printer (GLPI = 3101)are two switch-series only with each 8 dip-switches. I've tried many settings (similar GLP2), without success.

I hope to continue to help

Thanks,
Martina

Hi Martina, I advised the GLPII dip switch information came from a German Forum.

Possibly you should also post there, a.ng if anyone has the GLPI information.

As a matter of interest, where are you based? I am in Hammersmith, West London.

Hello Martina, today is your good luck day!   

I have found someone selling one of these printers on ebay uk, complete with the manual.

He has sent me a picture of the dip switch settings page in English, which can be viewed below.

Regards - Mike.
