Connecting to the RS-232 (Serial) Port
1. For IBM PC, PS/2 users or compatibles, connect the RS-232C cable to the
serial connector of the assigned serial port (COM1 or COM2) of your host
computer.
2. Set up the communication parameters (Baud Rate and Data Bits/Parity) to

2.6.3 Data Transmitting
There are two options to transmit the data from the computer to the cutting
plotter:
Option 1: With proper interface settings, the data can be transmitted from your
application software package to the cutting plotters directly.
Option 2: Most cutting software packages are able to emulate HP-GL or
HP-GL/2 commands. As long as the file is HP-GL or HP-GL/2 format,
the cutting plotter can output the data precisely.
Caution!! Please turn off the plotter before plugging the RS-232C
