BY 
MANUAL 
1-11. 
The plotter serial number 
is 
located 
on 
the 
rear 
panel.  Hewlett-Packard  uses  a  two-part serial 
number 
consisting 
of 
a  four-digit  prefix 
and 
a  five-digit  suffix 
separated 
by 
a  letter 
(OOOOAOOOOO). 
The 
prefix  is 
the 
same 
for all identical plotters 
and 
changes only when a 
modification 
is 
made 
that 
affects 
parts 
compatibility. 
The suffix is  assigned sequentially 
and 
is different for
