inches. Larger page sizes may be attainable if the resolution in the driver is lowered. This limitation also applies to the HP 750C printer, and 16 bit printer drivers under Win95. Programs that use their own internal drivers that bypass the Windows operating system are not real common but they do exist. Also, other driver programs or RIPs were created specifically to achieve special capabilities including: increased speed, scaling, color correction / calibration, extended print length, etc.

These programs don't use their own O/S (operating system). But, they create certain conditions that bypass those particular areas of the Windows O/S limitations. Some programs with internal drivers to print from include: AutoCAD, MicroStation, FlexiSign Pro, PosterShop, CactusJet, etc. External printer driver RIPs are made by Pisa, Fiery (EFI), ZenoGraphics, Intelligent Systems, Wasatch, etc.

It should also be noted that this limitation is only because of the GDI limitations. ENCAD printers do not have this limitation. Length limitations are a function of software or RIP parameters. Any conflicts that do not use the GDI interface should be directed to the software vendors.
