1.7 Connecting to Your Computer
The plotter can be connected to a computer via the parallel (Centronics-compatible) port, 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 Centronics-compatible parallel cable, serial cable, or USB cable in accordance with the connection
method chosen. Obtain a Graphtec-approved interface cable that is compatible with the interface ports
(Centronics-compatible parallel and serial cables are available separately).
(1) Check to confirm that the Power switch is turned off (the “O” side is down).
(2) Connect the cable between the plotter and the computer. Make sure the connectors at the plotter and
computer ends are correctly oriented.
