- 10.2.3 PLOT LASERJET
-
-
- The PLOT LASERJET command is used to output a raster file ( previously
- created with the PLOT RASTER command ) to a Hewlett Packard LaserJet+ laser
- printer or any compatible laser printer.
-
- To generate a raster image file suitable for plotting on a Hewlett Packard
- LaserJet+, the value for the DOTSPERINCH modifier in PLOT RASTER should be
- one of the values 75, 100, 150 or 300. This value should be matched by the
- RESOLUTION modifier to obtain the correct result.
-
- Colour raster files will not be plotted.
-
-
- 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 LaserJet+ 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.
-
-
- ORIENTATION The ORIENTATION modifier is used to select one of two
- orientations for the plot.
-
- LANDSCAPE Will orient the plot horizontally on the
- sheet.
-
- PORTRAIT Will orient the plot vertically on the
- sheet.
-
- If the modifier is omitted, the LANDSCAPE orientation will
- be used.
-
- CURRENTPOS If the CURRENTPOS modifier is used, the plot will start at the
- current 'pen' position of the printer. This allows plots to
- be merged with text.
-
- RESOLUTION Selects the dots-per-inch resolution of the printer. This can
- be one of the values 75, 100, 150 or 300. It should match the
- resolution used when the raster image file was created with
- PLOT RASTER. The default value used if none is specified is
- 300.
-
- COPY The COPY modifier can be followed by a value specifying up
- to 99 copies of the plot. The default is to create one copy.
-
- NOEJECT If the NOEJECT modifier is used, a form-feed command is not
- sent to the printer when the plot is complete. The paper will
- remain inside the printer and can be over-printed with text if
- required.
