You may select any of the drivers for use with your pen plotter provided
that the driver is 100% compatible with the pen plotter. To select a pen
plotter driver from the list, use the up and down arrow keys on the key pad
to highlight the desired driver, then press F1 to continue.
The user has the ability to modify the default settings for the plotter
driver that has been selected. To modify the settings, use the left and
right arrow keys to move over to the column to be modified and enter the
values as described below.
PENS
The number of pens that can be selected by the plotter. The maximum number
of pens that can be entered is 16.
XSIZE AND YSIZE
These sizes are described in thousands of an inch. For example, 8.0 inches
is entered as 8000. These values are used in the CAM routine to determine
the size of the paper that is in the plotter. It is recommended that the
values entered into these columns not exceed the maximum plotting area of
the pen plotter. If you are using a large plotter to plot on small sheets,
you must set these values to the size of the paper, not the size of the
plotter.
PEN WIDTH
The pen size is described in thousands of an inch. For example, .016 inches
is entered as 16. This value represents the width of the pen tip that is
being used for plotting. This value is used when processing an artwork
quality pen plot to determine the required number of pen strokes to fill the
tracks, pads and copper.
ROTATION
The rotation value can be a 0 or a 1. A value of 1 is used for pen plotters
that require the paper to be rotated when plotting on smaller sheet sizes.
