Extra Tips for UNIX Users

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.
