Thread: Roland dxy plotter serial/parallel help
hi, trying dxy 980 plotter run via serial or parallel.
plotter worked fine usb-parallel cable , had set generic raw printer , using tuxplot, worked using inkcut reason stopped working.
plotter works fine have serial port on desktop pc , can plot fine want mod laser cutter need control speed tuxplot can do.
moving away home year on work placement abroad cant use desktop.
have had 'success' using usb-serial cable pl2303 , ubuntu recognises fine , shows under lsusb, parallel cable shows pl2305.
use gtkterm , playing around settings best can print random letters , symbols though sent proper file .plt inkscape.
have tried cutecom similar results.
have feeling update ubuntu or cups changed things cant certain.
appreciated
i suspect baud rate off , not sure dxy needing. may easier try each speed setting on roland till find match usb>serial putting out.
