- CalComp Plotter Driver
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- The MICRO CADAM ccp.sys driver supports the CalComp PCI plotter
- language. The current version of this driver has a filesize of
- 14728 and is dated 9/9/88. This driver supports the CalComp
- 1023, 1040, 1041, 1042, 1043, 1044, 1075, and 1077 pen plotters
- as well as the CalComp 5700 and 5800 series electrostatic
- plotters. Please check the MICRO CADAM Official Hardware Support
- List to verify which of these plotters are supported by MICRO
- CADAM.
-
- The ccp.sys driver is installed in the config.sys file in the
- root directory of the workstation's c: drive by using the
- following statement:
-
- device=c:\mcadam\ccp.sys
-
- The ccp.sys driver should be the only output device driver
- installed in the config.sys file. For more information on
- installation please see the MICRO CADAM Installation Guide.

- DRIVER SPECIFIC INFORMATION:
- CalComp plotters do not supply paper size information to the
- workstation. This must be done using the DOS environmental
- variable:
-
- SET PAPER_SIZE=wxh
-
- where w is the width of the paper in whole number of inches and h
- is the height of the paper in whole number of inches. For best
- results w and h should correspond to the width and height values
- of the particular MICRO CADAM model's plot data. The default
- paper size is for an E size sheet.
-
- SET NFRAMES=x
-
- where x is the number of 45 inch long frames desired. Using
- NFRAMES provides the capability to do long plots or multiple
- frame plots. Techniques used to achieve long plots result in a
- loss of resolution plot which is proportional to the number of
- NFRAMES. Therefore, the smallest number of frames required to
- fit the entire drawing should be used.
-
- SET ELECTR=YES
-
- is used when plotting to the CalComp electrostatic plotters.
-
- OPERATION FOR REDIRECTION OF OUTPUT:
- The addition DOS environmental variable CCP may be used to
- redirect output to any valid DOS filename, any valid DOS device
- names (ie. COM1, COM2, LPT1, LPT2), or an incremented filename
- convention.
- examples:
-
- SET CCP=filename
-
- SET CCP=COM1
-
- SET CCP=LPT1
-
- SET CCP=*
-
- The last example causes the creation of CalComp plot files in the
- local directory of your hard disk. This file is named
- cpltfile.n, where n is an integer which is incremented from 1
- each time a new model is plotted.
-
- Any of the environmental DOS variables discussed above may be
- added to the autoexec.bat file in the root directory of the
- workstation's c: drive or may be entered at any time from the DOS
- prompt. Typing SET followed by the ENTER key will display all
- current DOS environment settings.
