Title: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: cowboygames on May 18, 2011, 11:38:39 PM Hi All, can anyone tell me if the ticket printers use a standard 50 pin IDE cable. I got a slot the other day and the cable's missing. Also, this is the one the has the insert that clips in the top to hold the paper and it's missing. So if anyone has one of those floating around would they grab it out of the air and see what the price is on it :89- Thanks for the help
Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: FORDSBS on May 19, 2011, 09:39:54 AM i HAVE AN 850. It has a 30 pin cable & insert that clips in. What model is your printer?
Ford Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: FORDSBS on May 19, 2011, 09:54:12 AM Cowboy, Are you sure it takes a 50 pin?
Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: cowboygames on May 19, 2011, 10:49:26 AM Hi Ford, I'm not sure of the model because there's no sticker, but 2 rows of 25 pins is what I count. Looks like the same cable they use inside computer towers for connections on HD, disk drives back to motherboard. I'm waiting for Radio Shack to open so I can go swipe one and try it. Not REALLY swipe it of course, but my wifes sister owns the store so maybe "creatively aquire" is a better term :72-

Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: FORDSBS on May 19, 2011, 11:01:44 AM After you get it working let me know if you need tray. Hope you have better luck with it then I had with Ithaca.
I had nothing but bad luck with them. Ford Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: cowboygames on May 19, 2011, 11:04:36 AM I'll know for sure this afternoon. Woulda been a lot easier if it had come complete and working the way it was advertised. Oh well, kay sara sara...
My bad, I don't know how to spell que sera sera Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: FORDSBS on May 19, 2011, 11:07:28 AM If it works & you want try PM me your address.
Ford Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: cowboygames on May 19, 2011, 11:14:48 AM Will do, thanks Ford
Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: reho33 on May 19, 2011, 11:45:31 AM I just looked at mine, it looks like it is a special cable. The old IDE cables were 40 pin and the ones for the floppy drive (old) were smaller BUT had a twist in one of the pairs to work with the floppy. It probably won't work with the printer because of that. You need that actual cable and I don't think RS will have it, maybe one of the vendors on here would. Just an observation.
Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: cowboygames on May 19, 2011, 11:53:51 AM Thanks Reho, Bob at Samron thinks he has the cable if I need it. Seems like there was a 50 pin SCSI cable out for awhile, but I don't remember what type of plugs it had
Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: Foster on May 19, 2011, 01:53:13 PM SCSI has 4or 5 styles of cable one is a 50 pin used for internal connections (inside computer case or drive case) with IDE type connectors
Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: FORDSBS on May 22, 2011, 06:36:25 PM Cowboy, did you get your printer working?
Ford Title: Re: S2000 Ithica Printer Post by: cowboygames on May 22, 2011, 06:42:22 PM I haven't yet Ford, it's my weekend with my daughter so I haven't had time to play with it much. Hoping to get to it tonight after I take her home.
