Yes. Doh. 8-1/2 inch rolls of thermal Fax paper on ½” core. Sold at Staples. $3
a roll. Works like a charm.

I just use thermal fax paper that comes in rolls that are 8.5" wide and
(usually) 98' long. 100' or shorter rolls fit fine inside the Silent 700
terminals. That paper is still being made and is

Yes, I have ruined a few printouts using the isopropanol method ;-) . On that
subject, can anyone recommend a source for the thermal paper used in the Silent?

Yes, I have ruined a few printouts using the isopropanol method ;-) . On that
subject, can anyone recommend a source for the thermal paper used in the Silent?

Another thing that ruins thermal printouts is propan-2-ol (isopropyl

Yes, I tried switch #4 and that did not do it. I opened it up, no other obvious
jumpers. The processor doesn’t even say TMS 7041, it’s
Yes, I tried switch #4 and that did not do it. I opened it up, no other obvious
jumpers. The processor doesn’t even say TMS 7041, it’s a custom numbered part.
Not that I am complaining, I am fine with my blazing fast gamer’s TI 703 with
overdrive. I’m just surprised they did not label it
I should have looked closer at the photos of the Silent 700/1200 I just
bought. There's a very clear auction photo that shows DIP switch 4 does
switch between "300 baud" and "1200 baud". Maybe it's the same for Marc's
1200 bps model 703.
Silent 700/1200 auction (ended):
I hadn't known about 1200 bps Silent 700s. I just found a TI Silent
700/1200 on eBay and it is now on its way to me. If I can figure out if/how
it can toggle between 300 and 1200 bps, I'll let you know.
Meanwhile, I can tell you that a manual I have for a model 703 says that
configuration

Mark,
In a search I found some downloadable reference cards for the Silent 700
Model 703 here:

I thought you were more of a clunky Model 37 or 43 kind of guy...
