No, this is the 192. You're thinking of the 92. The 192 (and 182, etc) use a plastic ribbon cartridge. -Dave On 12/13/23 19:21, Gregg Levine wrote:
Hello! Dave? Make sure you've got plenty of ordinary typewriter ribbons for this printer. That's right it uses the same ribbons as the typical mechanical printers that were in offices before the development of the IBM typebar one. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Hi folks. Does anyone have a manual handy for an Okidata Microline 192 printer? I need to know how to enable auto-LF mode. ------ I found a couple of references. Auto Carriage return on is ESC 1 0 (21,108,48) Auto Carriage return off is ESC 1 1 (21,108,49)
You can also try to press and hold select while turning on. That puts the newer microlines in setup menu (printed on paper). The FF button moves between entries. TOF sets the options.
I think this is more than the 192 can do though.
To wrap this up, the 192 does indeed do it this way. You hold down Form Feed while turning it on, then use Form Feed and Select to select menu items and settings, respectively.
It's all up and running now.
And after changing the battery on the printer's board, the settings actually stick. ;)
