Setting the Interface Conditions

The interface conditions must be set if the RS-232C serial interface is being used. The data transfer rate
(baud rate), data length, parity settings, and the handshaking mode for the cutting plotter must be set to
match those of the computer operating system. This section describes the cutting-plotter interface condi-
tions. For details on the proper settings for your application or computer operation system, refer to the
manual provided with the application or operating system.

The current settings are displayed (from the left): transfer rate (baud rate), parity, data length, and hand-
shaking mode.
The baud rate can be set to "19200," "9600," "4800," "2400," "1200," "600," or "300."
The parity can be set to "N" (None), "E" (Even parity), or "O" (Odd parity). The data length can be set to 7
or 8 bits.
The handshaking mode can be set to "H" (hard-wired handshaking) or "X" (Xon/Xoff handshaking). "E"
(ENQ/ACK handshaking) can also be selected when the command mode is set to HP-GL.
All of these interface conditions must be set to match the corresponding settings in the application software
and the computer operating system.
The parameter that can be changed is displayed immediately to the right of the
