Adding or deleting a plotter
Two types of plotters can be installed with your OMEGA system, local and remote. Many
Gerber plotters are installed via a COM port, but some plotters such as the Gerber P2C
™
can be
installed using a USB port. In addition to installing the USB plotter in OMEGA, you will need to
install the plotter driver that came with the equipment.
Tip: Occasionally a plotter will use a standard Windows driver instead of a custom driver and
the driver will already be loaded on your computer.

on page 33. The Local tab displays.

Note: If you are installing a USB plotter such as a Gerber P2C, see the procedure entitled
“Installing a plotter via a USB port” on page 53.
