5.4 After Connection to the Computer, the Plotter Operates Abnormally

Possible cause

Solution

Is the connecting cable between the computer and

Different cable connectors may be shaped identically

plotter defective?

but be wired differently according to the computer

model. Cables for connecting various computer mod-

els are separately available so check with your ven-

dor before connecting your plotter.

Each end of the cable is specifically designed for con-

nection to the plotter or the computer.

As it is physically possible to connect certain cables

in reverse, make sure the cable is properly oriented.

Are the interface conditions correctly set at both the

specific interface conditions. Be sure to check the

manual provided with your program.

If the problem only occurs when the plotter responds

to a READ command sent from the computer, check

your settings for the parity and data length.

Use the Character Dump Mode (to be discussed later

in this section) to check if the printed "dump" data

matches the data sent from the computer.

If they match, check the computer's program.

If they do not match, check the interface conditions.

Are the computer, operating system, and

Check that the operating system, programming

language, and application program are compatible

with the computer you are actually using.

Is the paper properly loaded?

Press the

C H A RT H O L D

key to secure the paper.

Is the plotter in Setup mode?

Press the

M O D E

key to cancel Setup mode.

Is the PAUSE lamp lit?

Press the

PAU S E

key to cancel Pause mode. (The

plotter cannot be controlled by the computer during

Pause mode.)

Has an Off Scale error occurred?

During plotting, if the pen carriage stops at the edge

of the effective plotting area but the PROMPT lamp

does not blink to indicate an error status, an off scale

error has occurred. This is not a malfunction of the

plotter. Plotting is resumed when the plotter receives

data that positions the pen carriage within the effec-

tive plotting area.
