Connecting to the RS-232 (Serial) Port
1. For Personal Computer users, connect the RS-232C cable to the serial
connector of the assigned serial port (COM1 or COM2) on 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

Caution!! Please turn off the plotter before plugging the RS-232C cable.
2.6.5 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, therefore, Use DOS commands like TYPE or PRINT to output your
file. As long as the file is HP-GL or HP-GL/2 format, the cutting plotter can
output the data precisely.
