What driver to use for their system or application.



What driver to use for their system or application.

A.    For AutoCAD prior to version 12 and all Non-Windows based programs:
      
      1.    There are no new drivers to install.  In general, use a 907/PCI
            driver selection such as a CalComp 104x, 102x, 2024, or 2036,
            plotter driver.
      
      2.    An HPGL driver selection may also be used. The plotter supports:
            HPGL-L (HP7595, HP7580B, and HP7585B), and HPGL-S (HP 7440)
            formats.

B.    For AutoCAD 12 or 13 (DOS, Windows or Windows NT):
      
      1.    	Drivers and documentation is available on the CalComp Web site 
		(http://www.calcomp.com).  The files are self-extracting.
            	Once downloaded, simply type the file name, and it will self-
            extract, producing the documentation and driver files.
            
            a.    File name: PLPCCGUI.EXE  for AutoCAD 12 or 13 DOS or
                  Windows (3.x, 95, or NT).

C.    For AutoCAD 14 Windows 95 or Windows NT):
      
      1.    	Use the ADI driver that comes with your AutoCAD program.  However, if you 
		experience difficulty with certain pen commands, you may 
		download and use the file PLPCCGUI.EXE. Drivers and 
		documentation are available on the CalComp website 
		(http://www.calcomp.com).

		The file is self-extracting. Once downloaded, simply type the file 
		name, and it will self-extract, producing the documentation and 
		driver files.

D.    For Windows 3.x based programs, including ACAD LT:
      
      1.    Use the CalComp Windows Driver. The file is available from the
            CalComp Web site (http://www.calcomp.com), file name:
            WIN31DRV.EXE).  The file is self-extracting. Once downloaded,
            simply type the file name, and it will self-extract, producing
            the documentation and driver files.
            
            a.    The driver supports the CCRF raster format, when using the
                  parallel port. This is the preferred format.
            
            b.    The driver also supports the PCI vector data format for
                  this plotter. If plotter can only be connected serially,
                  then use this driver.
      
      2.    An HPGL Windows driver selection may also be used. The plotter
            supports: HPGL-L (HP7595, HP7580B, and HP7585B), and HPGL-S (HP
            7440) formats. The HPGL drivers were included as a part of the
            Windows software. CalComp does not distribute HPGL drivers.

 D.    For Windows 95-based programs, including ACAD LT:
      
      1.    Use the CalComp Windows 95 Driver. The file is available from the
             CalComp website (http://www.calcomp.com), file name: 
		WIN95DRV.EXE. The file is self-extracting. You 
             can also download the files 95DISK1.EXE or 95DISK2.EXE, which are smaller 
             than WIN95DRV.EXE.  This driver does not include a vector driver (907/PCI 
             format.)  For vector plotting, use driver WIN95VEC.EXE Once downloaded, 
             simply type the file name, and it will self-extract, producing the documentation 
             and driver files.
            
            a.    The vector driver supports the 907/PCI vector data format for this
                  plotter.
            
            b.    The WIN95DRV.EXE driver supports the CCRF raster format when using
                  the parallel port. 

F.    For Windows NT based programs:
      
      1.    The Windows NT raster driver is available from the CalComp Web site 
		(http://www.calcomp.com), file name: 

            WINNT350.EXE for Windows NT 3.5

            NT351X86.EXE  for Win NT 3.51 on a PC/compatable
                          for installing driver from hard disk.
            NT351D86.EXE  for Win NT 3.51 on a PC/compatable
                          for installing driver from floppy diskette.

            NT40X86.EXE   for Win NT 4.0 on a PC/compatable
                          for installing driver from hard disk.
            NT40D86.EXE   for Win NT 4.0 on a PC/compatable
                          for installing driver from floppy diskette.

            NT40AL.EXE    for Win NT 4.0 on DEC/Alpha.


            a.  The file is self-extracting. Once downloaded, simply type the 
                file name, and it will self-extract, producing the 
                documentation and driver files.

            b.  The README.TXT file, once extracted from the EXE file, contains 
                the necessary setup information.

      2.    If the plotter has firmware revision 4.05 or greater, then an HPGL/2
            driver selection may be used.  The plotter supports the HP 7600. 
            NOTE: There is a limitation of 16 pens with this emulation. 
        
            Configure the plotter by performing the following steps:

            a.  In the plotter port configuration, select HPGL as the Plot 
                Command Language.

            b.  Enter 7600 for the Plotter Emulation Type.

G.    For Macintosh based programs:
      
      1.    Microspot makes a driver called MacPlot which will work with this
            plotter.
            
            a.    The driver may be ordered from Microspot (1-800-MAC-PLOT).
