may be downloaded from the CalComp Website (http://www.calcomp.com)

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.
