DEC Correspondent (LA12) question...

Hey folks,

Another question for DEC people out there. I've got a DEC
Correspondent (Model LA12-DB) printing terminal. It's like a little
cousin to the DECwriters of the world, very cute and lightweight,
relatively speaking. Built like a little tank, though. And ribbons
are still available, joy!

But I've got no earthly clue how to configure the thing for baud
rate, flow control, stop bits, anything. It seems to be set up
REALLY FUNKY right now, like 4800bps 7N1 or some such nonesense. All
I want is 9600 8N1, is that so wrong? It looks like configuration
is done by hitting some sequence of keys, but I've been unable to
make it work so far, and I'm going through an alarming quantity of
fanfold paper in the process. I mean, they couldn't have just made
it a TOGGLE or some DIP SWITCHES or anything, NOOO...

Does anyone know how to make it go?

-Seth
