Figure 4-10. Interface Converter Settings for Use with HP 7580A

Plotter on a Macintosh.

After configuration, turn on the plotter and the interface converter. The interface converter’s front-panel LEDs should all light momentarily while it performs an internal ROM and RAM test. All LEDs should go out except for the Power and Talk LED. The Talk LED indicates that the interface converter has detected the plotter on the IEEE bus and has addressed it to listen.

When the serial host begins to send the interface converter data, the Receive LED will flash. If it does not, this indicates that the interface is not receiving data from the serial host. Verify the cables are connected properly and the serial cable wiring. Verify the serial data format, word length, stop bits and parity.
