Calcomp_1023 (long)

I have gotten the Calcomp 1023 plotter to work fine for a 1Mb plot file
using lpr on the ttya port with the serial port patch installed. This
plotter can emulate many different types of plotters and I have tried
a couple of different ones. Here is what I have tried and I will update
you as I try different combinations of things.

The calcomp 1023 plotter is known as a non-roll feed plotter. This means
that you must change sheets of paper between plot jobs. So if you send
multiple plot jobs to the queue with lpr, this plotter starts the next plot
right after the last plot, on the same piece of paper!

So, to get around this problem we must send a halt request to the plotter
to kind of put it offline in between plots so that we can change the
paper. To do this I created a file called "nr" and its contents are as
follows:

NR;

I then have to send this file to the plotter with lpr in between plot jobs.
For instance,

lpr plot1
lpr nr
lpr plot2
lpr nr
lpr plot3

And so on, and so on. This NR; is the "not ready" HPGL command which the
calcomp recognizes in its version of HPGL called CPGL.
..........
Calcomp1023_VAR

Here is the printcap for the 1023 that we give out to the VARs:

lp:\
       :lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/var/spool/lp:br#9600:sf:sh:mx#0:\
       :ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff,-echo:

Use these settings on the 1023:

        Plotter type= 7585A
        format= CPGL
        baud rate= 9600
        8 data bits, 1 stop bit
        no parity

Note that this information is for the 386i running 4.0.2.

For SS1's (which dont have as many flow control problems) we give out
this all-purpose printcap:

The Calcomp 1043 plotter
------------------------

I did some testing with a Calcomp 1044 plotter(which is the roll-feed version
of the 1043) yesterday and was able to get a set of working settings for
the 386i. I was able to get a 1Mb plot file to go out to the plotter no
problem.

The plotter settings that I used were the following:

PCI mode
7 data bits
1 stop bit
even parity
xon/xoff= yes
direct control =yes or no
full duplex
sync code = 2
sync code value = 022
internal clock
term muting = no
chksum enable = yes
isochronous = no

The switch bank on the back of the plotter had switch 5 on and all the
rest off. This meant it was set to normal DTE.

The printcap entry used for the plotter was the following:

tim:\
       :lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/var/spool/tim:br#9600:sf:sh:mx#0:\
       :ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff,-echo:

Calcomp 104x plotter

I did some testing with a Calcomp 1044 plotter(which is the roll-feed version
of the 1043) yesterday and was able to get a set of working settings for
the 386i. I was able to get a 1Mb plot file to go out to the plotter no
problem.

The plotter settings that I used were the following:

PCI mode
7 data bits
1 stop bit
even parity
xon/xoff= yes
direct control =yes or no
full duplex
sync code = 2
sync code value = 022
internal clock
term muting = no
chksum enable = yes
isochronous = no

The switch bank on the back of the plotter had switch 5 on and all the
rest off. This meant it was set to normal DTE.

Also, probably a grey area for most users out there: The plotter had the
most current ROM pack on it. This particular plotter can switch ROM packs
around. There is also a CPGL ROM pack (as opposed to the PCI ROM pack
that I had on the plotter) that emulates HPGL(Hewlett-Packard Graphics
Language) that some users may think they have, but this is an additional
ROM pack that must be purchased. Anyways, a user cannot tell by looking
at the ROM pack whether they have the most current ROM pack or not. They
need to call their local Calcomp Field Service office and they can help
them with this issue.

The printcap entry used for the plotter was the following:

tim:\
       :lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/var/spool/tim:br#9600:sf:sh:mx#0:\
       :ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff:

The plotter was not added thru SNAP!

Anyways, this is a tested configuration for the 104x Calcomp plotters and
the only thing that the customer might want to check if this doesn't work
is to find out what rev of the ROM on the plotter they are running.

HP7475 plotter (LONG FILE)

I have had numerous calls in making a plotter work on a 386i serial port whether it is on ttya or the second serial port. There are two common configurations for plotters.

Make sure that the printcap and ypprintcap is the same file as we all know this was a known problem in 4.0.0 for remote printing.

For a plotter with 9600 baud, 7 databits, 1 stop bit, even parity and xon/xoff include the following in the printcap (common config for autocad):

:br#9600: \ #sets baud rate
:sh:sf: \ #suppresses header and footer
:xs#040000: \ #sends a cntl Q for DTR
:ms=-parityenb,-parityodd,-crtscts,-cstopb,cs7,ixon,-opost: #comm parameters

For a plotter with 9600 baud, 8 databits, 1 stop bit, no parity , and xon/xoff include the following in the printcap:

:br#9600: \ #sets baud rate
:sh:sf: \ #suppresses header and footer
:xs#040000: \ #sends a cntl Q for DTR
:ms=-parity,-crtscts,-cstopb,cs8,ixon,-opost: #comm parameters

Reference: man pages termio on ms options

Most plotters do not utilize pin 8 on the serial cable. In the Owner's Bulletin pg. 16 it tells you to put the following in rc.local:

/usr/etc/ttysoftcar -y /dev/tty

There is also a known problem with the serial port that was suppose to have been fixed in 4.0.1. The serial port prematurely closes before it is finish plotting. Tim is working on this problem with ecd. A temporary fix is to run the following cat > /de
>

v/tty$
$ should be replaced with a, m0, or m1 depending on the serial port being used.
This will dedicate a window but this is temporary until a patch can be made.

Also note for those adding second serial ports. The serial port that comes with the RR does not deal with interrupts that DOS cares about. This port should be assigned to /dev/ttya at all times. Using /dev/ttym0 the serial port should be assigned inter
>

rupt 4 and for /dev/ttym1 should be assigned interrupt 3. Therefore, a total of three serial ports can be added.

Another note for AutoCAD users:
There is a problem running a digitizer on a second serial port. Must use digitizer on /dev/ttya and plotters on second serial port. Autodesk is working on this problem.

HP 7550A pen plotter

    I'll start with the HP 7550A pen plotter. Now keep in mind that these
are suggested workarounds and are not guaranteed, so don't hold me liable
if they do not work. I'm merely relaying information from my customers.
Anyways, the printcap, cabling, and plotter settings that are needed for
this plotter to work on the serial port are the following:

the majority of the time you will still need to type the following command to get the plot to complete:
       cat /dev/ttya > /dev/null &
This will be running in the backgroheck ht

power cycle your plotter this process will die and you must retype it in a
commands window. This line can also be started from rc.local at boot up
time.

HP 7580 (A SUGGESTION! LONG FILE)

This workaround was suggested by a VAR and has spooling working fine for his AutoCAD plot files. It consists of using a C program as an output filter that changes some output settings while the plot file goes through it. He also had to send a file in be
>

tween plots which actually turned the plotter offline so that the plotter would not start the next plot in the queue on top of the one it just finished. This allows the user to change paper in the plotter, put the plotter back online(manually), and watch
>

the next plot start up.

    His printcap entry looked like the following:

       plotter:\
               :sh:\
               :lp=/dev/ttya:\
               :sd=/var/spool/plotter:\
               :of=/home/user1/spf:\
               :lf=/var/adm/plotter_errs:

       where user1 is the name of some user with home directory in
       /home/user1.

    Here is the C program spf.c that he used as the output filter. It must
be compiled first before it can be used. The command line for compiling the
program is: cc -o spf spf.c.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include "termios.h"

extern void exit();
extern void perror();

struct termios cb;

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
       char c;
       int n;
       long s;

       /* get settings for stdout (were only changing a few) */
       if(ioctl(1, TCGETS, &cb) == -1) {
               perror("1 spf");
               exit(2);
       }

       s = cb.c_cflag;

       /* disable parity (was enabled) */
       cb.c_cflag &= ~PARENB;
       cb.c_cflag |= 0;

       /* 8 bit chars (was CS7) */
       cb.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
       cb.c_cflag |= CS8;

       if(ioctl(1, TCSETSW, &cb) == -1) {
               perror("2 spf");
               exit(2);
       }

       while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
               putchar((char) c);

       cb.c_cflag = s;
       if(ioctl(1, TCSETSW, &cb) == -1) {
               perror("3 spf");
               exit(2);
       }

       exit(0);
}

The other file that gets printed in between plots is just a file thatcontains one HPGL command. It is "NR;", which causes the plotter to become "not ready" so that the paper can be changed. The plotter is
then put back online. So a typical plotting sequence with this method
might look like this:
       plot1
       /home/user1/nr #file with NR; in it
       plot2
       /home/user1/nr
       plot3
       /home/user1/nr

Now remember, this is not guaranteed, only a suggestion.

HP 7595

This is a non-roll feed plotter. The method for using this plotter is identical for using the 7550A plotter. One added note to keep in mind: a field called tr can be added to the printcap entry that prints out a trailer string after the plot is finishe
>

d. This trailer would be the HPGL command 'AF;' which tells the plotter to do a full page advancement before starting the next plot. Using this method, spooling has worked for some VARs. So the new field in the printcap entry would have the form
       :tr=AF;:
and could be put anywhere in the printcap entry for the plotter.
..........

HP 7595 Draftmaster

I have received a printcap entry from a VAR who has gotten his
HP 7595 Draftmaster I to work on the ttya, ttym1, and ttym0 serial
ports on the 386i. The AT serial card he has in his 386i is made
by JDR and is called the 286/386 Multi-I/O card(part#MCT-ATIO).
He configured the ports on the card as ttym0 and ttym1. He also had
an upgrade kit for the card called the Serial ATIO kit.

Here's the entry he has gotten all 3 serial ports to work for his plotter:
(His 386i was configured as a standalone, but will be put up on a
network soon):

Note: the lp field can be set to /dev/ttya, /dev/ttym1, or /dev/ttym0.

       hpp:\
               :lp=/dev/ttya:br#9600:rm=<hostname>:rp=hpp:sd=/var/spool/hpp:\
               :mx#0:sf:ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff:

where:

mx#0 => unlimited size for a file
       ms =cs7 => 7 character(data) bits
          =parenb => parity generation and detection enabled
          =-parodd => disable odd parity
                      ^^^^^^^
          =-ignpar => characters with framing or parity errors
                      (other than break) are not ignored.
                                             ^^^
          =ixon => enable start/stop output control
          =ixoff => enable start/stop input control

HP_Laserjet_IIP, IID(pcnfs ok)

There are a couple of new models of hplaserjet; Model IIP and IID. The
following printcap works with the hplaserjet on a sparcstation1.
Note that you need to use a filter to remap unix files to dos format.
This filter can be found on the Sun386i under /usr/lib/hplaserjet.
My customer has also tested it with pcnfs and says it works great.

HP laser Jet PLUS!! (THIS IS A VERY LONG ONE!!)

1. A new printcap entry is needed. The generic_hp entry in the /etc/ypprintcap
file on the yp master should read as follows:

generic_hp:\
       :pw#80:\
       :ms=-parity,-cstopb,-clocal,-cread,crtscts,ixon,-opost:of=/usr/lib/hplaserjet:

2. Install the file at the end of this message into /usr/lib as hplaserjet by:

       mount -o remount /usr
       cp hplaserjet /usr/lib
       chmod 555 /usr/lib/hplaserjet

3. Decide which interface you are going to use - serial or parallel port

4. Connect the printer to the 386i with the appropriate cable

5. Configure your hplaserjet to use the serial port or parallel port by using
the printer manual. For the laserjet II, its called "Getting Started with the
LaserJet series II printer", HP Part number (on the bottom right hand corner)
is 33440-90908.

For the serial port, use instructions on pages
3-7 and 3-8. NOTE that you must configure the printer to use the RS-422
interface.

For the parallel port, use instructions on pages 3-9

6. use SNAP to add the printer:
- use 9600 if the serial port is chosen
- choose laserjet as the printer type.

Printing
========
(Asumming you set up the printer to be lp above)

>From Unix, use lpr <file> to print files
>From DOS, make sure that the setup.pc line in your ~pc directory
has:

LPT1: lpr

print to this using the DOS print command and LPT1: as the printer

For HP plotters, we find that the following settings are usually helpful:

1. The latest serial port patch for 4.0.1 or 4.0.2

2. The same printcap entry as above.

3. Plotter settings:

HP7595 Draftmaster I and HP7596 Draftmaster II
----------------------------------------------
Serial:
        Dataflow= Remote, Standalone
        Baud=9600
        Hardwire=on/off
        HP/IB=Address 05
        Bypass=off
        Duplex=full
        Auto-disc=off

Similar settings work on the other HP plotters such as the 7580 and 7585.

LW II in diablo mode

Customer (s/o # 318926) needed to make LaserWriter II work in Diablo mode.
The cusomter could cat a file to the printer fine, but when lpr'ing the
file did not receive the proper CR/LF sequence. I had the customer change
his printcap entry to the following and it worked! (I hit the floor in
shock).
