amounts of installed RAM, you can provide that information to improve
performance.
Custom Properties Node
Modifies the device-specific properties for the plotter configuration. The
settings for each plotter vary. If the plotter manufacturer has not included a
Custom Properties dialog box for the device driver, the Custom Properties
option is disabled. For some drivers, such as ePlot, this is the only tree view
option that is displayed. For Windows system printers, most of the
device-specific settings are made in this dialog box. For more information
about the custom properties settings for your device, choose Help in the
Custom Properties dialog box.
Initialization Strings Node (for Non-System Plotters Only)
Sets pre-initialization, post-initialization, and termination plotter strings. If
you are plotting to an unsupported plotter in emulation mode, you can specify
ASCII text initialization strings that prepare the plotter for printing, set
device-specific options, and restore the plotter to its original state. Initialization
strings should be used by advanced users only.
User-Defined Paper Sizes & Calibration Node
Attaches a PMP file to the PC3 file, calibrates the plotter, and adds, deletes,
revises, or filters custom paper sizes. You can also modify standard paper sizes.
This node accesses the Plotter Calibration and Custom Paper Size wizards. If
the plotter you are using has been calibrated, a Plotter Model Parameter (PMP)
file contains that calibration information. If the PMP file is not already attached
to the PC3 file you are editing, you must create that association so you can
use the PMP file. If the plotter was calibrated from within the Add-a-Plotter
wizard while creating the current PC3 file, the PMP file is already attached.
Use the PMP File Name option under User-defined Paper Sizes & Calibration
to attach a PMP file to, or detach the PMP file from, the PC3 file you are
editing.
NOTE For Windows system printers, you can change the paper size settings and
create custom paper sizes only in the Custom Properties dialog box.
Import
Imports file information from earlier versions of the program. If you have a
PCP or PC2 file from an earlier version, you can import some of the
information in those files into a PC3 file. PC3 files store plotter name, port
information, pen optimization level, paper size, and resolution.
