2972.0. "HP 7475A Xon/Xoff info needed" by FSDEV3::JBERNARD (John Bernard 292-2591 YWO/E3) Sat Sep 30 1989 13:35

    I used to have a small ascii file called HPXON (which I have deleted
    by mistake :-(  ). 
    
    What this file did, when copied to SER:, where an HP 7475A plotter
    lives, is to change its handshake from hardwired to Xoff/Xon.
    
    I believe I originally got the file from Aegis Draw-Plus.
    
    The format of the file was REAL simple... something like...
    
    <esc>.I81;;17:<esc>.N19:    or some such...
    
    
    Anyone have this beast, or know what strings to send an HP 7475A
    (LVP16) plotter to set it to Xon/Xoff handshake?
    
    Better still, is there a jumper inside to do the same thing...

    John,
    
    You almost had it correct in .0
    
    Add a ";" between the N and the 19
    
    <esc>.I81;;17:
    <esc>.N;19:
    
    I took it from the file.  If you need the actual file or the driver
    I'll upload it!

    Frank,
    
    Thanks for the reply,  I added the errant ";" and all is fine now
