The Windows CCRF/PS/907/PCI driver file (WIN31DRV.EXE), 
may be downloaded from the CalComp Website (http://www.calcomp.com) 
Self-extract the file by typing at the DOS prompt: WIN31DRV

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:

 	o	PC Host Computer with an operational serial port 
		(i.e. COM1, COM2).
  	o	A straight through 9 pin serial cable (50 ft. max), 
		no wires are crossed, AND a "null modem".
		May require a 9 pin to 25 pin adapter.  

				OR

	o	A "Null Modem" cable, such as HP serial printer cable 
		(available locally)
  	o	CalComp 55xx 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.
