GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CCP386 is a protected mode ADI (Autodesk Device Interface) driver
for AUTOCAD release 10 386 or version 11 386 which will produce
CalComp 907/PCI/CCGL plot data.
The CCP386 has several advantages over other CalComp plotter
drivers.
- CCP386 supports all current CalComp plotters and Vector
printers.
- Outputs Serially at 8 different baud rates.
- Can use 7,e,1 or 8,n,1 parity.
- Can use XonXoff, Hardware, or CalComp AckNak flow control
protocols.
- Outputs Centronics Parallel by bypassing the bios which will
allow for at least a 2 to 1 increase in through put.
- Outputs to a user named plot file.
- Can download pen definitions with the plot data to relieve
user from pen mapping on the plotter.
- Can download a copy command to the plotter, sending the plot
only one time and producing up to 63 copies.
- User can tailor CalComp specific data parameters such as sync
codes, EOB codes, and checksumming to match an existing plotter
setup.
- Smaller file size (typically about one-half)
CDCL setup information can be included with the plot to configure
the plotter. Calcomp Device Control Language is a way to
re-configure the plotter to match the incoming plot file.
Autocad ADI driver Plot Size Limit.
When the user selects the step size and plot size using Autocad's
"Configure Plotter" function, the total X or Y steps in a plot
(plot size multiplied by the stepsize) cannot exceed 65535.
CCP386 handles this problem automatically.

INSTALLATION
Step 1. Check the CalComp shipped diskette.
Insert the CalComp shipped diskette in Drive A or B. Type DIR
A: or B:. Check your diskette and compare the files with the
Section "list of Materials". Also read "System Requirements"
before you begin.
Step 2. Copy files to hard disk.
You may copy CCP386.EXP wherever you wish. Just remember where
you put it, you will need to point to it later in this
installation. As an example you might want to create a
subdirectory called CALCOMP.
md CALCOMP
Make CALCOMP the current subdirectory.
cd CALCOMP
Copy CCPADI.EXP to the hard disk and also this document if you
wish.
copy A:CCP386.EXP
or
copy B:CCP386.EXP
copy A:CCP386.DOC
or
copy B:CCP386.DOC
Copy A:SETUP.EXE Setup program for the Colorview
or and Plotmaster
Copy B:SETUP.EXE
Step 3: Locating CCP386 for Autocad.
In order for AUTOCAD to find the Protected Mode ADI drivers, ACAD
has allocated an environment variable called PLPADI. Environment
variables are initialized by the DOS SET command. Using our
example from above:
SET PLPADI=C:\CALCOMP\CCP386.EXP
Without the PLPADI environment variable AUTOCAD will not be able
to find the protected mode driver during configuration or plot
time. This set command is best added to your AUTOEXEC file so it
is automatically done at boot up time.

found AutoCAD will display an error message and allow you to name the
P386 ADI driver. It is best to remember to issue the SET PLPADI
command as listed in Installation.

Configuring the 1073, 1075, 1077 pen plotters.
There are two types of controllers available for these plotters, the
PCI and the PLOT MANAGER. It is best if Field Service is called in
order to determine what controller is present and how to set the
switches, jumpers or thumb wheel switches. If you wish to attempt the
setup you will need the appropriate manual.

Configuring the 2024 or 2036 Pacesetter
The Pacesetter plotters are unique in that they are the only CalComp
pen plotter capable of accepting data both serially or parallel. The
setup procedures for the two are similar in most respects.
The following paragraphs contain the procedures for changing the
communications parameters. Each procedure is self-contained.
To Change parameters, proceed as follows:
1. Power-on the plotter
2. Press the Menu key.
NOTE
The Port Type menu display only appears when the optional
Centronics interface is installed. Skip this step and
proceed to step 4 if the plotter only has a RS-232C (serial)
port.
3. Press the up or down arrow keys until the display shows:
Port Type:
Use the left or right arrow keys to select Port Type:
If serial If Parallel
Port Type: Port Type:
RS-232C Centronics
4. This step is only for serial communications.
Press the the down arrow key until the display shows:
Protocol:
Use the left or right arrow keys to select:
Protocol:
PCI
If using parallel communications, skip to step 8.

5. Use the down arrow key to display:
Baud Rate:
Use the left or right arrow keys to select the correct baud
rate configured in AutoCAD. CCP386 defaults to:
Baud Rate:
19200
6. Use the down arrow key to display:
# of bits-parity
Use the left or right arrow keys to select the correct number
of bits per character and the type of parity configured in
AutoCAD. CCP386 defaults to:
# of bits-parity
7-even
7. Use the down arrow key to display:
Handshake:
Use the left or right arrow keys to select the correct
handshaking configured in AutoCAD. CCP386 defaults to:
Handshake:
Hardware
8. Use the down arrow key to select:
Sync # EOB CHK
There are three pre defined configurations for this options
labeled A, B, or C. Use the left or right arrow keys to display
each. If one of the three selections match the configurations
stored in Autocad, display it and proceed to step 14. CCP386
defaults to:
