Which Interface?You can connect the plotter to your workstation in one of two ways:
Via the UNIX print-spooling system, using any of the interfaces: network, parallel or serial
Directly using the serial interface
Recommendations The print-spooling system is recommended, so that printing takes place in the background while you continue using your application. A Print Server is also recommended, as it will give you not only more flexibility in locating the plotter, but also the possibility of network integration and centralized plotter configurations using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).
If you choose the parallel interface, you may need a parallel interface card for your workstation. Contact your workstation supplier for details.
