CalComp 2036-Can only use Pen #1

    I have AutoCAD LT 2000, running under Windows Me, on a Pentium III 864 Mhz computer, with 128 MB RAM.
    I also have a CalComp 2036 Pacesetter pen plotter that works perfectly, except for one thing:

    I can only use Pen #1. I am trying to also use Pen #2, but without success. Whatever I program to plot with Pen #2 is plotted with Pen #1. Other aspects of the assigned style (i.e., lineweight) plot correctly, but with Pen #1. I have checked the plotter configuration, have used both color-dependent and named plot style tables, have updated drivers from both Autodesk and CalComp, all without success.

    The only anomaly I have come across is that while the plotter configuration correctly contains only 8 pens, the style tables all give me a choice of up to 32 pens. Could this be part of the problem?
