[GreenKeys] Modems, CCU's and Tractor feed issues

[John Ball]

Wow thanks for all the tips. I'll take a jab any answering a few things.

>Tom (TT) pointed me to a source for the proper tractor feed paper (8"
between holes, 8.5" overall)

Awesome! It's cheap too! Thanks for the pointer.

Oh my, is it really that complex? Again, I've never seen any technicval
details on how they connected.

>John, I also have a 33 tractor feed unit. Here's a link to what I think is
the paper I bought. I'll >have to double check.

Ooh, green bar paper is even better. Again, still pretty cheap. Thank you!
One last thing I forgot to ask last night: is the tractor feed unit still
able to use the more conventional rolls of paper?

>As a starting point on the form feed question, you mentioned the form feed
occurs when you press the >comma button. Does every other key print
correctly when in local mode or do some other keys also
>print wrong some (or all) of the time?

Nope, it's only the comma key and only AFTER a line feed takes the cam lobe
off the high point (I assume this is some sort of stop). The issue
essentially causes the cam to reset but no, it's only the comma key. I can
type away all I want anfter a line feed but the moment I press the comma
that paper is off to the races. This does not however cause the punch to
spit out line feeds, you get the one comma as you would expect.
