Installation Procedure - HP 98568A Installation Instruction

HP Plotter (HP-IB Interface)
Installation Procedure
The following procedure describes how to connect your plotter to your Series
300 computer. Before you do this, however, refer to the manual(s) that came
with your printer to:
• Unpack the plotter.
• Check the line voltage.
And now, the installation procedure ...
1. Play It Safe.
Turn your computer and plotter off, if they are not already off..
2. Select Your Interface.
Use either the built-in HP-IB interface or an HP 98624A HP-IB Interface. If
using HP-UX, avoid placing the plotter on the same interface used by your
disk or tape drives, if possible. A dedicated HP 98624A HP-IB Interface is
recommended.
3. Set the Addre$s.
SKIP?
If this is the first (or only) plotter you are connecting to the
interface, you can skip to step 4. The address is preset to 5 and
need not be changed-unless you have changed the address of
some other device on the interface to 5.
a. Find the set of five HP-IB address switches near the HP-IB connector.
b. Set the address switches to 7 as shown in Figure 8-1, unless address 7 has
been used elsewhere. Refer to the manual that came with the plotter if
you need additional switch settings.
