Print Server Manual 41 A741
10.10 Can we do group or set printing?
Printing of multiple documents can be done in one or more sets or multiple
copies of the same document (group printing). Furthermore the printing order of
the set(s)/group(s) can be reversed (e.g. printing the last document first)
10.11 Can we add information (text) to each printed document?
With the STAMP function we can add any text to a plot. These stamps (unlimited
number per plot) can be placed anywhere on the document. Stamps can be
rotated to any angle. Stamps can be defined per plot, per group or for the whole
project.
10.12 What is a penset?
In the old days of mechanical plotters, the designer would create the plot using a
variety of pens. Pens could vary in thickness or have a different color ink. During
plotting time, the operator would change the pen at the appropriate moment. In
more modern plotters, the machine can automatically pick a pen from a group of
available pens. In modern environments like A741 Repro System, we do not
have physical pens anymore, but these pens are generated electronically. HP-GL
plots may contain a description of these pens (color, width, pattern etc.), or we
can use the penset as specified in the program. (see also 10.12, 10.14)
10.13 Can we define custom pen sets?
Yes, we can define an unlimited number of pensets. (Each set containing up to
255 pens as per HP-GL/2 spec). (see also 10.14, 10.12)
10.14 Can we override pensets in a plot?
Yes, we can override the default penset as included in a HP-GL/2 plot with our
custom defined penset. (see also 10.12, 10.12)
10.15 Can we handle OCE .RCH jobs?
The A741 Repro System program uses internal job descriptions based on OCE's
RCH format. As a result any job generated for an OCE printer/plotter can be
printed on the A741 as well.
