I think we had an Odec chain printer that another group gave
us to use on our VAX. I hacked it up to shut off the chain
motor when it wasn't printing, and then restart it when
print data came in. It had a HORRIBLE habit of running the
ribbon off the track and crumpling the edges. It had some
bars with 45 degree angles that folded the ribbon over to
make a 90 degree change in direction to the reels. When the
ribbon was just a little used, it lost some stiffness and
started folding and rolling over the edges. Then the chain
would grab it and make a mess. Otherwise, it was a REALLY
nice printer.

Finally I managed to scan it correctly.
It is the MP00075 which does not seem to be online.

Thanks. Now have my ODEC/Data 100 model 1422 chain printer working with my 8/E.
Anybody heard of that company or familiar with the printer? It seems to have
changed name from ODEC to Data 100 at time time. Was located in Warwick
Rhode Island.
Earlier model but similar http://www.dvq.com/ads/acm/odec_acm_72.pdf
