On December 20, 2009, someone (who?) donated a beautiful HP DraftMaster I pen plotter (HP P/N 7595A).
There's a Flickr set of somebody else's DraftMaster for reference.
Our plotter:
- appears to be in good physical condition
- comes with a pen carousel
- comes with one pen holder (holding a #2 pencil, nach)
- has a DB-25 that probably wants to speak HP-GL over RS-232
We need:
- service manuals
- pen holders
- paper
- software that emits HPGL
- a paper holder (probably a wire cage) to catch the print as it finishes
Documentation:
- Manuals and User Guides and product info, from HP museum.
HPGL Software:
- Inkscape, a vector drawing program, can export HPGL.
- Uniconvertor may be able to output HPGL.
Pens:
