Print Server Manual 39 A741
10 Frequently Asked Questions: Printing/Plotting
10.1 From which programs can I print?
Basically the user can print from any program (e.g. AutoCAD, Medusa,
Architrion) or operating system (Windows, MacOS, UNIX) which can generate a
document format which is supported by the Print Server.
The most commonly used format is HP-GL/2 (see also 10.7)
10.2 Which printer drivers are available?
Printer drivers will be available for:
Windows NT, Windows '95
*
and ADI drivers for AutoCAD version 12
*
, 13
*
and
14
*
10.3 Can we print grayscales with the A741 Repro system?
No, printing and scanning are limited to 2 grayscales (black & white) only. The
use of gray scales is limited to copying only.
10.4 If my program/operating system does not support the A741 Repro
System (A741) printer, can I still print/plot?
If available select the HP DesignJet 650C, print to file and import this file into the
Client program. The HP DesignJet 650C this is the most universal HP-GL/2
plotter emulation. (see also 10.1)
10.5 Can we print from UNIX or Macintosh systems?
Yes, but respecting 2 conditions:
•
The application or operating system (e.g. Sun's Solaris or the Mac OS) must
be able to generate an output format like HP-GL/2, CalComp 906/907 or
TIFF. (see also 10.7)
•
The plot data must be transferred to the Print Server, either via a backup
device or via a network. When using a network, the data can be sent directly
to a spool directory. (see also 12.1, 12.2)
10.6 Can we submit printjobs via e-mail?
Yes, it is not necessary to have a direct network connection to print/plot. By using
the built-in e-mail facilities we can submit the print job as an e-mail message to
the operator of the A741 Repro System Print Server. The printer operator can
then print the job. (see also 12.4)
NOTE: this function will be available around September ’98.
10.7 Which emulation's & file formats do we support?
The following list is divided in 3 groups. Emulation’s are typically the instructions
sent to a plotter, the vector and raster formats are typically used for document
storage on a computer.
