Reconfiguring Your Plotter

Changing the Interface Settings and I/O Timeout Setting

 

Changing the Interface Settings

Network

With a network interface (such as HP JetDirect Print Server), refer to your network

 

interface documentation for advice on any front-panel configuration.

Parallel

With a parallel interface, no front-panel configuration is necessary.

Serial

With a serial interface, you should have configured it when installing the plotter, as

 

explained on page 1-29. However, you may need to reconfigure it:

When you connect a new computer to the plotter.

When you output to the plotter from a new application.

If you experience problems with distorted or unintelligible plots.

To Change the Serial Interface Settings

This task is explained in detail on page 1-29, including a note of the defaults and likely requirements.

To Change the I/O Timeout Setting

Some software may not write a proper file terminator at the end of the file. In this case, the plotter will not know that the file is complete and will wait for more data until the end of the ªI/O Timeoutº period. By default, this period is 30 minutes, but you can change it in the menu (indicated on the left) to as little as 30 seconds.
