What Driver to use for their System or Application.

A. For AutoCAD prior to version 12 and all DOS-based programs:

1. There are no new drivers to install. In general, use a 907/PCI
driver selection such as a CalComp 104x, 102x plotter driver.

2. An HPGL driver selection may also be used. The plotter supports:
HPGL-L (HP 7595, HP 7580B, HP 7585B), HPGL-S (HP 7440), HPGL/2
(HP 7600), and HPGL/RTL (HP 650C) formats. For a more complete
list of supported HPGL models, refer to the User's Guide,
Appendix D.

B. For AutoCAD 12 or 13 (DOS, Windows or Windows NT):

1. Drivers and documentation are 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).

NOTE: Your plotter MUST have Firmware level 2.64 or higher to operate
correctly with this driver. If it does not have this firmware,
either make arrangements with CalComp for a firmware upgrade,
or download the driver PLPCCWIN.EXE. This is the version
5.6 driver, which has fewer features, but can operate your
plotter using older firmware.

If you are not certain what firmware level is installed on your plotter, then
. Take Plotter Offline. (Online light off
. On the Plotter's Control Panel, press Menu
. Press the Down arrow until the unit displays:
PLOT STATUS
. Press the "-" (LEFT) button
. Read the firmware level from the display

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 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. Configure the plotter
to set CCRF Mode to Direct.

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.

E. For Windows 95-based programs, including ACAD LT:

1. Use the CalComp Windows 95 Driver. The file name:
WIN95DRV.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. Configure the
plotter to set CCRF Mode to Direct.

b If you are using a CAD application, or have a serial
connection to your host computer, you may prefer the
907/PCI driver. This driver is available from the CalComp
website (http://www.calcomp.com). File name WIN95VEC.EXE.
The file is self-extracting, and contains installation
instructions in the README.TXT file.

F. For Windows NT based programs:

1. Use the CCRF/PS NT (raster-mode) driver. The file is available
on the CalComp website (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/compatible 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. Simply download the file, type
the filename to extract the driver files and documentation.
The files should be extracted to an empty directory on
the hard drive.

b. Start Windows NT.

i. Install the driver via Print Manager, as described in the
README.TXT file.

ii. When the setup program has completed, the driver will
be installed.

c. Set up the plotter.

i. On the plotter, press the MENU button until the plotter
displays:
MENU - USE ARROW KEYS TO CHANGE.

ii. Press the down arrow keys until the plotter displays:
PROTOCOL.
Press the right (+) key until the plotter displays: CCRF.

iii. Press the down arrow keys until the plotter displays:
INPUT RESOLUTION.
Press the right (+) key until the plotter displays 360.

iv. Press the down arrow keys until the plotter displays:
EOP TIMER.
Press the right (+) key until the plotter displays:
DISABLED.

v. Press the down arrow keys until the plotter displays:
INPUT BUFFER. Press the right (+) key until the plotter
displays 100K.

vi. Press the down arrow keys until the plotter displays:
SAVE AS USER. Press the right (+) key until the plotter
displays either 1, 2, 3, or 4.

vii. Press the down arrow key once. When the plotter display
changes, the plotter is set up. Load the media into the
plotter and press ON LINE.

2. An HPGL driver selection may also be used. The plotter supports:
HPGL-L (HP 7595, HP 7580B, HP 7585B), HPGL-S (HP 7440),
HPGL/2 (HP 7600), and HPGL/RTL (HP 650C) formats. For a
more complete list of supported HPGL models, refer to the User's
Guide, Appendix D.

a. If using Windows NT 4.0, select the HP DesignJET 600 (C2847A).

G. For Macintosh based programs:

1. Microspot makes a driver called MacPlot which will work with this
plotter.

The driver may be ordered from Microspot (1-800-MAC-PLOT).
