Hello,
Here is a simple solution that works with all operating systems (even Windows 10!)
Save your vector drawing in HPGL format using Inkscape, for example. All vector drawing editors can do this.
If you open the file with a text editor, you will see that it contains instructions like "IN;IP0,0,4000,4000;SC0,100,0,100;VS10;SP2;PA0,0;
PD;PA100,0;PA100,100;" etc...
Then, just send this file to the plotter through the serial port using a program like Hyperterminal. Personally, I use Teraterm.
1) Connect the plotter to a serial port on the PC (or a USB/RS232 converter)
2) Launch Teraterm and configure the serial port according to the plotter's parameters (personally 2400 baud, 8 bits, Even parity, hardware handshake)
3) Click on File / Send a file
4) Select your HPGL file
5) Miracle! The plotter starts drawing.
