10.2.5 PLOT XEROX
The PLOT XEROX command is used to output a raster file ( previously
created with the PLOT RASTER command ) to the Xerox 4020 colour ink-jet
printer or any compatible printer.
To generate a raster image file suitable for plotting on the Xerox 4020
printer, the value for the DOTSPERINCH modifier in PLOT RASTER should be 120.
Colour raster files will be plotted using the 7 available colours, mono
raster files will be plotted in black.
The colour assignments used for the Xerox 4020 are as follows:
Colour 0 Not plotted
Colour 1 Yellow
Colour 2 Magenta
Colour 3 Red
Colour 4 Cyan
Colour 5 Green
Colour 6 Blue
Colour 7 Black
This follows the standard yellow, magenta and cyan colour combination used
by most colour printers. To preview a drawing in these colours, the command
#CHANGE COLOUR YMC
can be used to select the appropriate colours.
MODIFIERS
FROM Requires the name of the raster image file created with the PLOT
RASTER command. If this modifier is not used, the file
XCTEMP:rastc is assumed to be the raster image file. ( This
file is the default file created by PLOT RASTER ).
TO Requires the name of the file or device used as a destination
for the plot commands. If this modifier is not used, the plot
commands will be sent to the device PAR: ( the parallel port ).
If you are likely to reproduce the same plot many times, it can
be useful to output the plot commands to a disk-file which in
turn can then be copied to the printer when required.
INTERLACE Used to select interlaced graphics. The resolution of the
output is still 120 dpi, but each line is printed twice - the
second line offset by 1/240" to the right and down. This gives
a more solid print output.
