Plotter Com port test

No Communication with the computer:
If your cutter can't establish communications with your computer, please follow these steps to help identify which of your system's components may be the source of the problem. The real key in nailing down the problem is this process of elimination. Removal of each separate component from the list of key variables, gives you the clues necessary to determine the actual cause of the communication problem.

Make sure the serial cable is the correct one for the plotter.
Look to make sure it is not damaged
Make sure the cable is connected properly to one of your computer's ports
Make sure the correct communications protocol is being used by your computer.
The mode command statement for a PC is MODE COM2:96,N,8,1,P (If you are using COM2, otherwise replace 2 by the number of the COM port the plotter is connected).
If available, try another COM port. If unsuccessful obtaining access to a second COM port, try another computer.
Make sure the correct driver is selected in the plotter setup menu in your design program.
