Mutoh Plotter: Macintosh Compatibility



I need compatibility information about the Mutoh plotter series, especially
IP-500 and IP-530. Which Macintosh software can drive it? Will MacPlot
Professional drive it? Which standard plotters (if any) are these Mutoh
plotters compatible with? The data sheets only say that they are
HPGL-compatible.

We contacted the Mutoh Sales Office in Southern California and found that
the IP-500 emulates an HP-7580. All they had to say about the IP-530 was
that it is HPGL-compatible. It doesn't emulate any specific plotter. The
folks at Microspot (MacPlot driver) would not guarantee that the Mutoh
plotters would work with their product, because they haven't been tested.
They stated that there should be no problem driving any HPGL-compatible
plotter.
