Attached?

Select Yes if you have a plotter attached. If you specify that a plotter is not attached, you cannot subsequently select a port for it.

Host session

When this option is available, select one of the host-session names displayed.

Port

Select either COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4 as appropriate for your plotter. For an explanation of these, see the section on DOS device names in the DOS Reference book that applies to the level of DOS on your personal computer system.

Baud

Select communication with your plotter at either 4800 or 9600 baud. This setting should match the setting on your plotter configuration switches; for more information, see the operating instructions for your plotter.

Note: The 9600 baud option is only available on PS/2 system units.

Model number

If you intend to use different plotters with your personal computer system, select PCLK to query plotter and do not type an IBM model number; otherwise, type the IBM model number of the plotter (for example, 7372). Note that you can type the model number for a plotter that you want to use for deferred plotting, even if you have specified that a plotter is not attached. This results in plot files being saved in a subdirectory with that model number as its name.

Plot immediately (no prompt to defer)?

If you intend always to plot immediately and do not want to be reminded about deferred plotting, select Yes. But remember that when using graphics and alphanumerics in merged mode, it is more efficient to defer your plotting.
