Basic Terminology
Application softwar
e Application software means the software from which you intend to send plots to
your plotter – for example, a CAD system, a graphics package, a desktop
publishing system etc.
Drivers
Your application software needs to know to which type of plotter it is sending
information. This knowledge, and other configuration information, is held in a
“driver.” The driver is a piece of software that handles communications between
your application software and your plotter.
To make sure that your plotter prints exactly what you expect – in terms of size,
position, orientation and quality – use the correct driver for the combination of
your application software and your plotter.
