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.
