GPIB-232CV-A configuration switches. Set the serial port parameters
to XON/XOFF disabled, 9600 baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, and even
parity.

Power on the plotter, then power on the GPIB-232CV-A.
When the GPIB-232CV-A is powered on, it addresses the GPIB plotter.
Any data sent to the serial port by AUTOCAD is received by the
GPIB-232CV-A and stored in its internal buffer. The GPIB-232CV-A
transfers the data to the plotter over the GPIB connection as fast as the
plotter can receive it. Because the GPIB-232CV-A provides a data buffer
that spools the data as it is sent, the PC will be able to send data at serial
rates instead of plotter rates. Therefore, your data is output to the GPIB
plotter by AUTOCAD in less time than it would have taken to use the
HP7475 serial plotter.
