Sharp CE-515P Problem

RE: Sharp CE-515P Problem
I did a video a few weeks about RS-232 woes and got an email from someone who said the problem I demonstrated with interfacing a PC-1500/CE-158 with a CGP-115 helped them with a similar issue.

This got me to thinking about this thread and wondering if it was something similar given the CGP-115 and CE-515P are both Alps mech printers. Video link below.

Spoiler alert: The problem was that the printer set the BUSY signal as soon as the first bit was received. I had this signal wired up as CTS. When the UART in the CE-158 saw CTS change it stopped shifting bits out. The result was garbage printing. I rewired BUSY to DSR and looped back RTS/CTS and all was well.
