4.2 PARALLEL TRANSMISSION 4.2.1 Connecting to the Parallel Port (Centronics) 1. Connect a parallel cable to the cutting plotter and the host computer (Figure 4-1) 2. Set up the output port LPT1 or LPT2 from your software package Jaguar II User Manual 3. Send the data to your cutting plotter directly. Or, use DOS commands like TYPE or PRINT to output data. 4.3 SERIAL TRANSMISSION 4.3.1 Connecting to the Serial Port (RS-232C) 1. For IBM PC, PS/2 users or compatibles, connect the RS-232C cable to the serial connector of the assigned serial port (COM1 or COM2) of your host computer. 2. Set up the communication parameters (Baud Rate and Data Bits/Parity) to match the setting of software package, refer to chapter 3 – “Misc” key description. 4.3.2 Transmitting the Data to Plotter There are two options to transmit the data from the computer to the cutting plotter: Option 1 With proper interface settings, the data can be transmitted from your application software package to the cutting plotters directly. Option 2 Most cutting software packages are able to emulate HP-GL or HP-GL/2 commands, therefore, Use DOS commands like TYPE or PRINT to output your file. As long as the file is HP-GL or HP-GL/2 format, the cutting plotter can output the data precisely. For example, a file with PLT extension generated by SignPal can be transmitted directly to the plotter at the DOS prompt, and then be cut out. Before outputting at the DOS prompt, set up a transmission protocol between your cutting plotter and computer by a DOS command, MODE. Make sure that your PC has the same communication protocol as the cutter. For example: Connecting Cutting Plotters 4-2
MODE COM2: 9600, N, 8, 1, P Then, use TYPE command to output via COM2 if COM2 is the assigned output port. TYPE filename > COM2 Tip: Add the MODE command line to your system’s AUTOEXEC.BAT to automatically execute MODE command every time you want to output your data at the DOS prompt via serial connection. However, values in a MODE command should comply with the related requirements of your software. Refer to DOS manual for further information. 4.4 Interface of Macintosh Computer Jaguar II User Manual In order to operate the cutting plotter with a Macintosh computer (e.g. Power Mac), you need a MAC modem cable (DIN 8 to DB25) to connect the RS-232C cable, please refer to Fig 4-2. The cable is an optional item, which could be ordered through your dealer. Figure 4-2 Connecting Cutting Plotters 4-3
