Notes The available range of plotter units for a particular media
size is only partially determined by setting the Expand
Mode to On. When the printer/plotter senses the media
size it automatically sets the hard clip limit to 15mm on
three sides and 39 mm on the fourth. If Expand Mode is
On, then the hard clip limits are set to 5mm on three
sides and 29 mm on the fourth side. This is what allows
you to define a larger imageable area.
The HP-GL emulation senses the media type if the
paper type is set to Scale to Paper. It is also possible to
have the HP-GL emulation use a particular media size
by setting Original Paper Type through the control panel
or by using a Document Option Command.
