Setting the RS-232C Interface Conditions
This plotter can retain six different combinations of RS-232C interface conditions in its internal memory, three of
which can be revised to best suit your application.
Your plotter comes with the conditions of each RS-232C interface mode set to the following settings.
RS mode
Interface conditions
RS-1
9600 bps, even parity, 7 bits, Xon/Xoff handshaking
RS-2
9600 bps, no parity, 8 bits, hardwire handshaking
RS-3
9600 bps, odd parity, 8 bits, Xon/Xoff handshaking
USER-1
9600 bps, even parity, 8 bits, hardwire handshaking
USER-2
9600 bps, odd parity, 8 bits, Xon/Xoff handshaking
AUTO
9600 bps, odd parity, 7 bits, hardwire handshaking
NOTE
You can change the settings of the USER-1, USER-2, and AUTO modes, but those of RS-1 through RS-3
cannot be altered.
When you receive your plotter, its functions are set as follows (the RS mode is set to USER-1).

Handshake mode
: Hardwire
Data length
: 8 bits
Parity
: Even
Command mode
: FP-GL
Paper size
: ISO A3
Programmable resolution
: 0.1 mm (100

Pen speed mode
: Manual (the pen speed set at the plotter's panel overrides any command
input specifying the pen speed)
Pen-up speed mode
: NormalSp
