HPGL Plotter Installation
To change the cutting area of the plotter
1
Change the 0 (HPGLTEMP=9999,1.016,
0
,13.00,59,3,1.0,1.0,com2) to the actual cutting
length (X axis) of the plotter.
Note: A value of 0 means there is no limit to length. Usually this means the plotter is capable
of cutting an entire roll of material (50 yards). If the plotter has a specific length limit, enter
that limit instead of 0 in the form of nnn.nnn. (Metric values must be converted to inches.)
2
Change
13.00
(HPGLTEMP=9999,1.016,0,
13.00
,59,3,1.0,1.0,com2) to the actual cutting
height (Y axis) of the plotter.
Note: If the cutting height is in millimeters, convert it to inches and enter it in the form of
nnn.nnn. For example, a plotter has a plotting height of 580 mm. To convert this value to
inches, use the following formula:
580/25.4 = 22.8346456
3
Round the result to three decimal places.
Tip: We recommend that a lesser value than the absolute plotting height be entered to avoid
reaching the plotter limits.
4
Enter the value in place of 13.00.
Note: If the Y axis cutting height is set incorrectly for your plotter, large jobs will not panel
correctly.
5
Save DEVICE.INI and exit Notepad.
Note: For specific instructions on installing a plotter, refer to “Chapter Three: Adding Output
Devices.”
