Hi folks,
I just picked up a Kodak Diconix 150 Plus portable inkjet printer. No
power supply or documentation, but it works fine.
<snip>
Which brings me onto my question... Does anyone have
any information on
this printer?
I have a Diconix 180si, with User Manual and Technical Reference manual.
I'm mainly looking for a DIP switch table
(annoyingly, it won't produce
a config print - just a test page). I'd also love to find some details
on the control codes, emulations and character sets it supports.
The 180si does not use DIP switches, so I can't help with that. The Tech Ref manual
does have Command Code and Character Set info, however. The whole manual is a bit over 100
pages. I can scan it if you are interested.
Also - does anyone know what the material on the
printhead capping
station is, or if they're still available?
It looks like a cardboard or blotting paper pad with a plastic backing
card. This one is soaked in ink and looks like it could do with being
replaced. I assume it's to stop the cartridge from drying out?
The 180si uses one also. It "catches a spray of ink which the printer uses to clear
the printhead cartridge before printing." A new pad is included in each printhead
cartridge container.
I've put a HP 51604A (expired 2012!) cartridge in
there, and it seems
happy enough.
Thanks,

Phil.
