ACAD 12, 13 (DOS or WIN3.x,95,NT) 6.x driver - TechJET 55xx Serial Port:
Technical Support/Service  1-800-CALCOMP (1-800-225-2667)                                                                 

The driver file (PLPCCGUI.EXE) may be downloaded from the CalComp Website
(http://www,calcomp.com). Self-extract the file by typing at the DOS
prompt: PLPCCGUI.

NOTE******
If you are able to use a parallel port for printing with your TechJET 55XX, 
you are strongly advised to do so.  The data transfer rate is much greater, and 
the setup simpler using a printer port (LPT) rather than a serial (COM) port.

Hardware Connection Requirements:
  PC Host Computer with an operational serial port (i.e. COM1, COM2).
  A NULL MODEM 9-pin female to female serial cable (50 ft. max). May
  require a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
  CalComp 55xx plotter must be connected to a PC directly for this
  configuration.  Network systems may require different communication
  parameter settings.

1. Setup TechJET Color (5524, 5536):
   - Power ON the plotter.  Load media.  
     Make sure both pinch rollers are down.  Press MENU button.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to PROTOCOL and set to AutoSense.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to PORT TYPE and set to RS-232C.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to BAUD rate and set to 9600.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to # of bits-Parity and set to 7-Even.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to Handshake and set to Hardware.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to EOP TIMER and set to 2 Min.
   - Press DOWN arrow key to Save as user number and save the settings on
     USER # (1 to 4).
   - Press ONLINE button twice. The plotter should display: ONLINE 000:00.

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).

3. Setup AutoCAD:
   - 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. 
     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 TechJET Ink Jet Plotters ADI
     4.2 V6.x- by CalComp.
   - From Supported Models choose the model that you have. 
     (5524 or 5536 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 TechJET Color 55xx
   - 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).

The clip limits for the 55xx plotter in normal mode, cut-sheet are 1.42
inch on the bottom,  0.5 inch on the left/right sides of the media, and
1.26 in at the top of the media. When setting the paper size for ACAD,
select a user size and set the size to the paper size, minus the clip
limits. Example: 36 in. by 24 in. paper will have a user size of 35.3 in.
by 23 in.
