Finishing the Installation
1. Replace the left end cover on the plotter and secure with the
three saved screws. Do not replace the right end cover or
control module cover at this time.
Note: If you purchased the Long Sign Material Catcher, install
at this point.
2. Install the three roll support bars between the stand legs
behind the vanity panel. Insert the end of the roll support bar
into one of the stand leg holes as far as it will go, then insert
the other end into the corresponding hole on the other stand
leg. Center the bar.
Connecting the Plotter
CAUTION: Be sure power is turned off and the power cord is
unplugged at both the
GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE
and the plotter.
CAUTION: When power is on, never try to manually move the
carriage, move the plotter drum, rotate the tool, or force the
tool up or down. Attempting to manually move the HS750
plus
in any axis of movement while the power is on may damage
the machine.
1. Place the HS750
plus
near the
GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE
system.
The cable is 10 feet long, so the plotter need not be located
immediately beside the console; however, it should be close
enough so there will be no strain on the cable after installation.
2. Insert the 9-pin connector at the end of the RS-232 cable into
the 9-pin RS-232 connector on the back of your
GRAPHIX
ADVANTAGE
. This connector is normally labeled
Plotter or
COM Port 2.
3. Carefully align all pins. Use the connector thumb screws to
secure the cable to the
GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE
.
4. Insert the 25-pin connector at the end of the RS-232 cable into
the 25-pin RS-232 connector on the back of the plotter.
