2.8.3 RS-232 Interface
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 match the
setting of software package, refer to chapter 3 – “Misc” key description.
2.8.4 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.
Note:
Please turn off the plotter before plugging the RS-232C cable.
