HPGL Plotter Installation
Working with HPGL plotters
OMEGA 2.6 allows you to connect an HPGL plotter. HPGL is an acronym for Hewlett-
Packard
®
Graphics Language, a standard command set used to communicate to plotters.

Verifying communication settings
Many plotters have communications settings that are set using DIP switches or a control panel
on the plotter. Verify that communications settings for your plotter match the communications
settings for OMEGA 2.6. This is important for users of non-Gerber plotters so that you can set
up your plotter appropriately since OMEGA 2.6 communication settings cannot be changed.
OMEGA 2.6 sends data as follows:
♦
Baud Rate = 9600
♦
Parity = No
♦
Data Bits = 8
♦
Stop Bits = 1
