                          Quick Setup Information

  Note: This configuration has Autocad set to plot to file, then the plotfile 
is the name of the port the plotter is attached to. The plot data will still 
go straight to the plotter and not a plotfile. This is done to allow Dos to 
handle the port communications. We have found this to the most reliable way of 
communicating on all PC's with Windows 3.1. Windows 95 this usually is not necessary
and you may select the port during configuration in Autocad and skip the 
plot to file. Autocad 12/13 in NT (sometimes Windows 95) will require Autospooling to
communicate to your port. Autodesk has instructions for setting this up on their web 
page and also have a fax document 759. The Calcomp step by step procedures also 
contain an autospooling setup. Check at end of page for info on where to get them.

1. Start up AutoCad and from AutoCad Command Line type: CONFIG.

Use EDIT or EDLIN to Add line to AUTOEXEC.BAT file to define COM Port 
 (Add after PATH  and Mouse statement):
 MODE COM1:9600,E,7,1,P (if using serial port 1) or
 MODE COM2:9600,E,7,1,P. (if using serial port 2)
