Update on my DXY1100 plotter.I have now set it up and run self test on it. This works with no problems.See pictures here.Amazingly the pens work fine, all eight have ink. Obviously I do not know how much ink is left.
To avoid using them too much I ran the functional test without pens. The drawing on the plotter in the photographs was stored with the plotter.
The other plots just visible on the table were created from programs running on a BBC micro. Also shown in the picture are the user and technical manuals, a command crib sheet and a nylon dust cover. The plotter can be used via a serial or parallel (Centronics printer cable) interface.
There are no software drivers, none are needed. The plotter responds to HPGL commands. I used to use a CAD program in Windows which output HPGL to a file or direct to the interface.Having watched the plotter perform again I was reminded what a solid piece of kit it is. I am tempted to have a go using it as a vinyl cutter.If I decide to sell I will look for a guide price.Does Roland still manufacture plotters?

Really glad to hear that you got it working and those drawings look awesome! They just make me want one even more.As a student I want it to do my technically drawings for my projects and I can give you somewhere around the average ebay sold price, if you still want to sell it, it is even better seeing as all the pens work. Are they refillable?As far as I know Roland do not make flatbed plotters anymore but I have a feeling they still sell vinyl cutters and the 'not flatbed' roller type ones. I think they are all ink jet however.If you do decide to sell it I can offer money and or some old vacuum tube valves if they interest you (not massivly interesting or useful ones)Best regards- Sam.
