Scaling Percent
The Scaling Percent option is a numeric value for the percentage of
enlargement or reduction of the plot. The minimum value is 1 and the
maximum is 150. The default value is 100 (same size).
» Note: To scale plots, select the paper size originally used for the plot
in the Paper Type menu; then enter the reduction or enlargement
needed to fit the plot on the new page in the Scaling Percent submenu.
If necessary, enter new x,y coordinates in the Origin submenu to
reposition the plot on the page.
Origin
The Origin option is a numeric value for the distance to move the plot
origin along the x and y axes in increments of .001". The minimum
value is 0, and the maximum values are 8500 (8.5") for the x axis and
11000 (11") for the y axis. The default values are 0000 (x axis) and
00000 (y axis). Values of 0 for both x axis and y axis align the plot ori-
gin with the lower-left corner of the paper. The default values move
the plot origin just inside the boundaries of the printable region of the
page. Setting values less than the defaults or too high may result in
lost portions of the plot when printed.
Reverse Image
The Reverse Image option has two choices for printing white plots on
a black background. The default value is Off (print black on a white
background). If you select On, black lines in the plot print in white,
and white lines print in black.
Enhanced Mode
The Enhanced Mode option has two choices that specify the resolu-
tion of a downloaded character set. The choices are Off (standard
resolution for fixed- and variable-spaced fonts, 4x8 character grid) or
On (enhanced resolution for variable spaced fonts, 32x32 character
grid). The default value is Off.
