Setting Interface
This section describes how to set the interface.
The plotter has USB and RS-232C interfaces, and these interfaces are switched automatically.
USB Interface
To use the USB interface, a plotter driver must be installed in the computer. Please the SETUP MANUAL to
install the plotter driver.
For the plotter side, please perform command settings*, step size settings (when using GP-GL commands), and
origin point settings for HP-GL (when using HP-GL commands).
* There is no need to set a command in Simple mode. (There are no settings in Simple mode.)
CAUTION
Operation cannot be guaranteed in the following cases:
When the plotter is connected to a USB hub or extension port.
When the plotter is connected to a hand-built or modified computer.
When a driver other than the one provided as a standard accessory is used.
Do not perform the followings:
Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while installing the USB driver on the computer.
Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable when the computer or the plotter is performing an initialization routine.
Do not disconnect the USB cable within a 5-second period of connecting it.
Do not disconnect the USB cable within a 5-second period of connecting it.
Do not connect multiple plotters to a single computer using the USB interface.
RS-232C Interface
When using the RS-232C interface, set the command settings, step size settings (when using GP-GL
commands), origin point settings for HP-GL (when using HP-GL commands), and transfer conditions for the RS-
232C interface. The transfer conditions for the RS-232C interface can be set from the operations panel. The
transfer condition should be set to the same in the software used and in the CE6000. If there is a mistake in the
settings an error may displayed in the machine and lack of data can cause a malfunction. In such a case, please
confirm the data transfer settings again.
