2.1 Connecting to Your Computer
The cutting plotter can be connected to a computer via the serial (RS-232C) port or USB port. Select which
port to use according to the requirements of your application software and/or which of your computer’s
interface ports are available for use.
Use a serial cable or USB cable in accordance with the connection method chosen. Obtain a Graphtec-
approved interface cable that is compatible with the selected interface port (an RS-232C cable can be pur-
chased separately; a USB cable is provided as a standard accessory).
Check to confirm that the Power switch is turned off (the “O” side is down).
Connect the cable between the cutting plotter and the computer. Make sure the connectors at the cutting
plotter and computer ends are correctly oriented.
