ACAD 12,13,14 (DOS or WIN3.x, 95, NT) 6.x driver - 67436 Plotter  Serial Port:
Technical Support Hot Line 1-800-CALCOMP (1-800-225-2667)  
Updated: 25 April, 1996
                                                    
The driver file (PLPCCGUI.EXE) may be may be downloaded
from the CalComp Website (http://www.calcomp.com) 

Hardware Connection Requirements:
  PC Host Computer with an operational serial port (i.e. COM1, COM2).
  A straight through serial cable (50 ft. max), no wires are crossed.
  HP Plotter serial cables do not work with CalComp Plotters. Must have
  pins 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 20. Connect to plotter COM _1, COM _2,  or
  COM_3 port.
  CalComp 67436 Plotter must be connected to a PC directly for this
  configuration.  Network systems, serial buffer boxes, and/or plot
  spool programs may require different communication parameter
  settings.

1. Setup 67436 Plotter:
   - An ASCII Terminal or a Terminal emulation program must be used to
     configure the plotter.
   - Connect Terminal to the TERMINAL port on plotter, with a straight
     through cable.
   - Set Terminal's serial communication to 9600 baud rate, 8 bits,
     1 stop bit, no parity, Hardware hand shake.
   - Turn plotter on.  You will see plotter initialization on Terminal screen.
   - When initialization is complete, press CTRL P.   Plotter will
     request a USER PIN#  press 0 and ENTER.
   - At the A> prompt type COM_1 and ENTER (if using COM_1).
   - The following will be displayed at the Terminal:  Port is enabled
   - Input Monitor Dump = NO? NO and Enter.
   - Baud Rate = ? 9600 and Enter.   Character Framing (bits, parity,
     stop bits)=? 7,E,1 and Enter.
   - Host to plotter CDCL Protocol = ? CTS and Enter.  Plotter to Host
     CDCL Protocol = ? CTS and Enter.
   - Dead Job Time Out (SEC) = ? 60 and Enter.
     Time out Action = ? Force and Enter.
   - Plot Command Language = ? 907 and Enter.
     Steps Per Inch = ? 400 and Enter.
   - Plot Data Protocol = ? CTS and Enter.  Beginning of Record Sync
     Character = ? $16 and Enter.
   - Number of Sync Characters = ? 2 and Enter.  End of Record Character
     = ? $0D and Enter.
   - Checksum = ? YES and Enter.  You are now back at the A> prompt,  to
     save the above parameters type:
     SAVE X ALL and Enter.   X = user number parameters will be saved to.
     Valid values are 1 through 256.

2. Use EDIT or EDLIN to Add line to AUTOEXEC.BAT file to define COM Port
   (Add after PATH statement):
   MODE COM1:9600,E,7,1,P (if using serial port 1).
   MODE COM2:9600,E,7,1,P (if using serial port 2).

   Note: Windows 95/NT systems do not require the addition of
      the MODE statement.  Users of Windows 95/NT systems
      may disregard this step.

3. Setup AutoCAD 12/13 (ACAD 14 users see below):
   - Start AutoCAD.  From the AutoCAD Command Line type: APPLOAD.
     Note:  Windows 95 with ACAD 13 for WINDOWS C3 will require
     installation by running the a:\plpccw\install.bat file on the
     installation disk.  Example:  INSTALL WIN13 A:\PLPCCW C:\R13\WIN\DRV
   - Click on the FILE button.
   - Locate drive a: from the DRIVES list and open folder PLPCCW. Click
     on the file INSTALL.LSP and press ENTER.
   - From the AutoCAD Command Line type: CONFIG.
   - At the Configuration Menu choose Configure operating parameters.
   - At Operating parameters, choose 3- Default plot file name.
     Enter COM1 or COM2 to match the MODE cmd.
   - Exit to Configuration Menu.
   - At the Configuration Menu choose 5 - Configure plotter.
   - At Plotter Configuration Menu choose 1 - Add a plotter configuration.
   - From Available Plotters choose
     CalComp Electrostatic Plotters ADI 4.2 V6.x- by CalComp.
   - From Supported Models choose the model you have (67436 Plotter).
   - Where the Plotter is connected to (Serial, Parallel) = S.
     Available Serial Protocols = 2 (HARDWARE).
   - Serial Baud Rate = 9600.  Character Framing = 0 ( 7,E,1 ).
     Device Name, (COM1, COM2) = COM1 (If using COM1).
   - Do you want to change anything = YES.  Write the plot to a file = YES.
     (All others, choose the defaults).
   - Enter Description of Plotter = CalComp 67436 Plotter.
   - Exit to Configuration Menu.  Exit to Drawing Editor. Keep
     Configuration Changes = YES.
   - At the command line type OPEN or NEW to open a drawing and
     initialize the new driver.
   - At the command line type: CCONFIG. to bring up the CalComp Plotter
     Configuration Dialog box.
   - Select the Model and options desired. For information, click on an
     option then HELP.

Note to NT users (ACAD 12/13 only):
   Windows NT requres the use of AUTOSPOOL for plotting. To configure ACAD 
   to use AUTOSPOOL:
   - Create a directory under the root called SPFILES
   - Create a batch file called PLOT.BAT (Use EDIT or NOTEPAD).
     The file should contain the following line(s):

   @Echo Off
   Mode comx:9600,e,7,1,p      (Use this line only if using the serial port x= number 
                                                of com port)
   Copy %1 comx:                     (Use this line only if using the serial port x= number 
                                                of com port)
   Copy %1 lptx                         (Use this line only if using the parallel port. x=number 
                                                of lpt port.  May be a captured port)
   Copy %1 //computer/share  (Use this line only for network devices.  Substitute for 
                                                computer and share.)


   Note: Use only one ‘copy' line.

  - Edit the ACAD.INI file in the ACAD directory or the WIN subdirectory.  
    (Use EDIT or NOTEPAD).
  - Look for this line in ACAD.INI: ACADPLCMD=
  - If there is no line then create one.
  - Edit the line to read: ACADPLCMD = c:\spfiles\plot.bat %s %c
  - Save the file and exit the editor.  Restart ACAD if currently running.
  - From the AutoCAD Command Line type: CONFIG.
  - At the Configuration Menu choose 7-Configure operating parameters.
  - At Operating parameters, choose 3- Default plot file name.
  - Enter AUTOSPOOL for the plotfile name.
  - Choose 4-PLOT SPOOLER DIRECTORY and change to C:\SPFILES
  - Exit CONFIG and keep changes.
  - Be sure to PLOT TO FILE (Make sure the PLOT TO FILE box at the bottom of 
    the plot window is checked.

 Setup AutoCAD 14:
   - Start AutoCAD.  From the AutoCAD Command Line type: APPLOAD.
   - Click on the FILE button.
   - Locate drive a: from the DRIVES list and open folder PLPCCW. Click
     on the file INSTALL.LSP and press ENTER.
   - From the AutoCAD Command Line type: CONFIG.
   - Click on the PRINTERS tab then the NEW button
   - From Available Plotters choose:
     CalComp Electrostatic Plotters ADI 4.2 V6.x- by CalComp.
   - From Supported Models choose the model you have (67436 Plotter).
   - Where the Plotter is connected to (Serial, Parallel) = S.
     Available Serial Protocols = 2 (HARDWARE).
   - Serial Baud Rate = 9600.  Character Framing = 0 ( 7,E,1 ).
     Device Name, (COM1, COM2) = COM1 (If using COM1).
   - Do you want to change anything = NO. 
   - Exit to Configuration Menu.  Exit to Drawing Editor. Keep
     Configuration Changes = YES.
   - At the command line type OPEN or NEW to open a drawing and
     initialize the new driver.
   - At the command line type: CCONFIG. to bring up the CalComp Plotter
     Configuration Dialog box.
   - Select the Model and options desired. For information, click on an
     option then HELP.

     Note: Should errors occur when typing the CCONFIG command, the
     driver may be reinitialized by:
     1). Removing all CalComp plotters using the CONFIG command,
         selecting 5 - Configure plotter, selecting 2- Delete a plotter
         configuration, deleting all CalComp plotter drivers and selecting
         Exit to Configuration Menu, Exit to Drawing Editor, and Keep
         Configuration Changes = YES.
     2). Deleting the driver configuration file, PLPCCW.INC in the driver
         (DRV) subdirectory of AutoCAD.
     3). Reinstalling the driver using the CONFIG command, and
         selecting 1 - Add a plotter configuration, as previously described
         above. (The APPLOAD Command does not need to be rerun).
