To change the serial interface settings
Parallel With a parallel interface, no printer or Setup-sheet configuration is necessary.
Serial With a serial interface, you should have checked the configuration (baud rate and
parity) when installing the printer and, if necessary, changed it. However, you may
need to reconfigure it:
When you connect a new computer to the printer
When you output to the printer from a new application
If you experience problems with distorted or unintelligible prints.
To change the serial interface settings, use the Setup Sheet, as explained on
page 1–19.
To change the graphics language setting for less
common applications
Your software application communicates with the printer by a graphics language.
The HP DesignJets 430, 450C and 488CA support HP-GL (7586B), HP-GL/2 and
HP RTL.
The printer’s default setting, HP-GL (7586B), is designed to work successfully
with most applications. However, it is possible that with some older or less
common applications, you may need to change this setting to HP-GL/2. To change
the graphics language setting, use the Setup Sheet, as explained on page 1–19.
