3.2 Data Transmission
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.
For example, a file with PLT extension generated by SignPal can be transmitted directly to the plotter at the
DOS prompt, and then be cut out. Before outputting at the DOS prompt, set up a transmission protocol
between your cutting plotter and computer by a DOS command, MODE. Make sure that your PC has the
same communication protocol as the cutter. For example:
MODE COM2: 9600, N, 8, 1, P
Then , use TYPE command to output via COM2 if COM2 is the assigned output port.
TYPE filename > COM2
Tip: Add the MODE command line to your system’s AUTOEXEC.BAT to
automatically execute MODE command every time you want to output your data at
the DOS prompt via serial connection. However, values in a MODE command
should comply with the related requirements of your software. Refer to DOS manual
for further information.
