5.5 Special Settings for Some Isis Plotters
Besides the foregoing printer setup requirements, some plotters have
additional special settings that should be made before you print in Isis.
They are explained next.
5.5.1 Alden 9315CTP-999 Plotter with Isis
Triton Elics has tested an Alden 9315CTP-999 plotter (serial
number 21137-999K; version CB1.70 PE 1.51 with 1024K buffer). It
works with the current version of Isis.
1. Follow the general procedure described in §5.2, ‘Setting Up a
Plotter’
.
2. From the File→Print→Plotter Setup series of menus in the Isis
software program, choose Alden 9315 as your plotter.
Note: Although you should use the cables supplied by Alden, use
the non-SCSI cable to connect the Isis system to the plotter.
The Alden plotter can use SCSI cables with some
applications, but not with Isis. At the plotter, the non-SCSI
cable should be connected to the port labeled “parallel data
input” using the Centronics end of the cable. The DB-25M
end of the cable should be connected to LPT1 (parallel port)
on the Isis system.
5.5.2 EPC 1086 or Multiping Plotter with Isis
In addition to the general procedure (§5.2, ‘Setting Up a Plotter’)
the EPC 1086 and EPC 1086 Multiping plotters plot single screens
or continuous waterfalls in Isis.
To print a single screen from Isis 2.11 or later, do the following:
1. Use the plotter’s status arrows to set the EPC plotter as follows:
• Data Type: 6-bit
• Data Input: Parallel
