Scaling Mode
Select the mode for determining the document size from the obtained ACA. Also, judge
whether it will be portrait or landscape according to the ACA.
If it is an ACA
To get the document size, subtract the area set in paper margins from the area
obtained in the area determination mode.
If it is a Paper Size
Set the document size from the obtained ACA and the origin point setting. The
document size can be selected from A-size papers (6 sizes: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4 or A5).
4. How to Determine Document Size
The document size is determined by comparing the hard clip area for each paper size,
based on the ACA obtained in the scaling mode, paper margins, and area
determination mode.
If the Scaling Mode is a Paper Size
1) Obtain the coordinate area to be active from the HP-GL data entered, in accord
with the area determination mode.
2) As a margin, add the larger value of either the font size specified in the page, the
default size or one half the specified pen width, to the ACA obtained in
1
.
3) Subtract the value set in paper margins from the ACA obtained in
2
.
4) The minimum size that includes the ACA obtained in
3
will be the document size.
If the Scaling Mode is the ACA
1) Obtain the coordinate area to be active from the HP-GL data entered, in accord
with the area determination mode.
2) As a margin, add the larger value of either the font size specified in the page, the
default size or one half the specified pen width, to the ACA obtained in
1
.
3) Subtract the value set in paper margins from the ACA obtained in
2
.
4) The ACA obtained in the process up to
3
will be the document size.
Ex.
If the following data is entered when the scaling mode = paper size, origin position =
Auto, paper margin is 10mm, area determination mode = IP:
All pen width settings are 0.1 mm
Area obtained by area determination mode
Area left when paper margin subtracted from
area obtained by area determination mode
Paper Margins
Cannot plot as hard clip is exceeded
