AUTOCAD 12/13 ADI DRIVER CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES  Models: 522xx/524xx,
53336/53436, 54424/54436, 5700/57000, 5800/58000, 67436, 68436/68444

The following guideline is intended to serve as a reference for general
questions which come up regularly on the configuration for CalComp's ADI
drivers for AutoCAD 12/13 (DOS/Windows).

A.   WHERE IS THE CALCOMP ADI DRIVER DOCUMENTATION

     In-depth documentation for AutoCAD 12/13 ADI drivers is available
     from CalComp's Web Site (http//:www.calcomp.com). 

     The driver documentation is a text file which is included with the
     ADI driver file. The CalComp ADI driver files for AutoCAD 12/13 are
     listed on CalComp's Web Site:

     1.   PLPCCWIN.EXE  (AutoCAD 12/13 for Windows ADI drivers)

     2.   PLPCCDOS.EXE (AutoCAD 12/13 for DOS ADI drivers)

     Both of these files are compressed, self-extracting executable
     files. This means that to uncompress them, you simply enter the
     file name at the DOS prompt. For example, at the DOS prompt, enter
     PLPCCWIN (and follow any further prompts given as the driver and
     documentation files uncompress). The driver and documentation files
     will then be ready to use.

B.   IF YOU HAVE NEVER INSTALLED A CALCOMP ADI DRIVER FOR AUTOCAD 
      12/13, WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY?

     This step presumes you have the driver files, PLPCCDOS (AutoCAD
     12/13 for DOS) or PLPCCWIN (AutoCAD 12/13 for Windows) and have
     uncompressed them.

     The easiest way is to follow the information supplied in README.BAT
     and then call FaxBack for your particular setup sheet. CalComp has
     FaxBack setup sheets on all of the models listed above except the
     5700/57000 and 5800/58000 series electrostatics. For these, use the
     following substitutions:

     5700/57000 series:  USE FAXBACK SHEETS FOR THE 67436.  Follow
                         each step as it is given in the setup sheet.
                         Substitute the actual model selection (of
                         67436) given in the setup sheet to the
                         appropriate size 57000 series plotter (use
                         the 57000 models listed in the driver
                         configuration for both 5700 and 57000
                         plotters).

     5800/58000 series:  USE FAXBACK SHEETS FOR THE 684XX.  Follow
                         each step as it is given in the setup sheet.
                         Substitute the actual model selection (of
                         684XX) given in the setup sheet to the
                         appropriate size 58000 series plotter (use
                         the 58000 models listed in the driver
                         configuration for both 5800 and 58000
                         plotters).


     1.   When your compressed driver file (PLPCCDOS.EXE or
          PLPCCWIN.EXE) is unzipped, there will be a file called
          README.BAT among the driver files. At the DOS prompt, enter
          README and follow the basic installation instructions EXACTLY
          as they are given.

          In general, the driver configuration can be successfully
          accomplished by simply using the setup sheets provided on
          FAXBACK. We have also provided one of these setup sheets with
          the driver files. It is called QUICK.TXT. To read this sheet
          simply enter README QUICK at the DOS prompt. This particular
          setup help sheet may be all you need.

          The complete driver documentation (DOCS.TXT) is intended to
          serve as a reference. In DOCS.TXT, all of the configuration
          prompts are explained. In usually isn't necessary to study
          this document in order to successfully configure your CalComp
          ADI driver. In most cases, a setup sheet is all you need.

     2.   The next step is to call FaxBack at (714) 821-2914 and follow
          the friendly voice-prompts.

          In addition to the documentation supplied for the ADI driver,
          CalComp also has one-page setup sheets available which
          literally 'walk' you through all the necessary steps to get
          your plotter working with AutoCAD.

          To access the AutoCAD 12/13 setup sheets, simply call
          CalComp's FaxBack line at (714) 821-2914. There is a setup
          sheet for each of the models listed above, at the beginning of
          this guideline.

          ALL of the setup sheets are listed under FaxBack Catalog #4.
          Call the FaxBack line and have Catalog #4 delivered to you.
          Then, from Catalog #4, select the document number you need and
          call FaxBack again to get your setup sheet. The whole process
          takes just a few minutes

     3.   Once you get the AutoCAD setup sheet for your plotter, FOLLOW
          EACH ONE OF THE STEPS EXACTLY AS THEY ARE GIVEN. The steps in
          the setup sheets are EXACTLY what CalComp technical support
          specialists give over the phone. We get a lot of positive
          feedback from customers who use these setup sheets.
