[comp.sys.hp] Help needed configuring HP 7470A plotter

skeeve@mhuxu.UUCP (Chris Riley) (06/07/88)

I have an HP 7470A plotter that I need to connect to a PC.
Unfortunately I do not have a manual for the plotter, and don't know
what the dip switch settings mean.  There are 8 switches, labeled S1,
S2, Y, US and 4 baud rate switches.  What does each setting mean? I
want to set it up for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop
bit.  What do I do?

Please respond via e-mail.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Steve,

What is your mailing address?  I can send you application notes on how to
connect the 7470A or most other HP plotters to most of the common PC's.

These notes also cover the switch settings.
