Fidelity VSC printing problems

Post by Berger »

Hi,

I'm doing some print tests with my Fidelity Voice Sensory Chess Challenger, and something very strange is happening: It doesn't write well the numbering of moves (it always starts at number '2'). It's not a problem of interpretation by the printer, because I have monitored the output of the communications port, and the same thing happens.

The really curious thing is that, sooner or later, it corrects this error by repeating a number. Here are two examples...

1)
CHESS CHALLENGER

002 D2-D4 D7-D5
002 E2-E3 G8-F6
003 F1-D3 B8-C6
004 F2-F4 C8-G4
005 G1-F3 G4-F3
006 D1-F3 E7-E6
007 B1-D2 F8-B4
008 C2-C3 B4-E7
009 E1-G1 E8-G8
010 G2-G4 F8-E8

I think this could be a bug. Has anyone detected this behavior?
Because... who does not have a VSC connected to a printer at home?! :D
