Area Determine

Methods for obtaining the effective coordinate area based on the HP-GL data are as follows:

[Auto]

An effective coordinate area determining method is automatically selected among PS, IW, IP, Adapted. PS, IW, IP, Adapted are given priority in this order.

[IW]

The area specified by the last IW command in data is determined as the effective coordinate area. If data contains no IW command, Adapted is used to determine the effective coordinate area.

[IP]

The area containing the area specified by all IP commands in data is determined as the effective coordinate area. If data contains no IW command, Adapted is used to determine the effective coordinate area.

[Adapted]

The effective coordinate area is determined by the following conditions:

•Maximum and minimum position coordinates of the points plotted by drawing commands

•Maximum character size in the page

•Maximum pen width

[PS]

The area containing the area specified by the first PS command in data is determined as the effective coordinate area. If data contains no PS command, Adapted is used to determine the effective coordinate area.

Paper Margin

Specify the paper margin within the range between 0 mm (0.0") and 99 mm (3.9"). The default is [0 mm] ([0.0"]). The area obtained by removing the area specified by making the [Paper Margin] setting from the effective coordinate area obtained in [Area Determine] is determined as the effective coordinate area.
