Error Busy

The serial/interface settings are different on the plotter and on the software.

1.Print a setup sheet and check the plotter's current settings for Baud Rate and Parity.

2.Compare these with the current settings of the same two items for your application software. They must be the same.

3.If necessary, change the plotter's settings.

The serial/interface cable is not correctly connected.

The computer is ignoring the plotter's handshake signals.

Connect the cable correctly.

If the computer is using hardware handshake, ensure that the serial/interface cable has a handshake wire.
