So now I have an E-sized pen plotter. It has serial

all morning and haven't found anything overtly helpful. I know that I
can get paper and pens from Western Numeric Controls, but manuals are
scarce as hen's teeth.
Nice find! I nearly bought a similar plotter once myself, but just
couldn't quite convince myself I wanted to pay $50 for one. Since you are
already familiar with the smaller plotters, you already know HP used a
nonstandard pinout on the serial connector on most of their plotters. I'd
expect the 7596A to be the same way.
HP may still have the manuals on their site somewhere, but finding them
probably won't be easy. The 7596A is also know as the Draftmaster II.
