Carmigirl 7 Posted August 26, 2015 I'm going to try to set up a old graphtec plotter to my laptop. The plotter has parallel connections and a rs232 port. Was wondering if by using the key span and the rs232 will I have to switch dip settings or will it just run as it did when it was connected thru the plotters parallel. I'm sorry, I'm just not very computer savvy. Btw, it's a Tripp lite brand Keyspan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jburns 239 Posted August 27, 2015 Once its hooked up- make sure your software and device settings are using the proper COM port connected to the adaptor, and try a test file. If you have problems, see if the Baud rate is the same on the plotter and the COM port. -- if you have a manual, it may show you more communication settings.
