HP 240A, 340A manual Print Control

Print Control

„HP-GL Mode

Switches between graphics languages. This setting affects HP-GL commands (IW, OW, and UC commands).

Candidate values are shown below. [HP-GL] (default)

You can use HP-GL, HP-GL/2, or HP-RTL. The languages switch according to the print data that is sent to the printer.

[HP-GL/2]

HP-GL/2, or HP-RTL can be used.

„Hard Clip

Sets the size of hard clip area.

In the HP-GL mode, the drawing area is limited depending on the paper size. This area is called a hard clip area. It determines the maximum range of pen movement. Accordingly, images cannot be drawn exceeding the bounds of the hard clip area.

Candidate values are shown below. [Output Size] (default)

Set the hard clip area to the same size as the paper. However, the actual area that can be printed is whatever is the area on which the printer can print.

[Normal]

The hard clip area for A4, A3, letter, and ledger are the same as for Hewlett-Packard’s HP7550A.

The hard clip area for other paper sizes is the same as the printable area for this printer.

„Eject Command

Set commands (SP, SP0, NR, FR, PG, AF, and AH) that indicate completion of drawing. At receipt of one of these commands, drawing is terminated and paper is ejected. All commands except for SP0 are set to [Disable] as the default.

Note

•When two or more commands are specified, drawing stops and paper is ejected at receipt of any one command.

„Zoom

Determines whether to enlarge/reduce (scaling) the document size so that the document size fits the output size.

[On] (default) Scaling [Off]

Scaling is not done. Print data is printed at actual (100%) size. Because of this, the print data may not fit on the paper.
