Featuresand benefits

HP GL emulation -

HP Desgdet plotter supports HP GL through an HP 7586B emulation mode. If you use HP GL drivers or HP GL as your standard plotter language, you now can use the HP DesignJet plotter. The plotter uses HPGL2 and HP RTL,

araster transfer language that allows vector and raster data to be merged in a single plot.

Network i n m a c e options - Both the original and the enhanced HP Desgdet plotter will work with the HP JetDirect card (P/N C2059T) for UNIX- based systems,including HP-UX, Sun ficrosystems SunOS,and SCO UNIX. With thisinterface installed in the plotter's modular interface option slot, the plotter can be placed anywhere on the network for location flexibility. The card allows data to be transferred as fast as the plotter can accept it. The HP Desgdet plotter also works with the

HP JetDirect card for Novell NetWare Ethernet (P/N C2059A) and the HP JetDirect card for HP-IB (P/N 16424).

High-capacity inkjet car- tndges -These new cartridges (P/N 51626A) also work with HP DeskJet printers and the origmal HP DesignJet plotter. The new cartridges provide twice the ink of the previous cartridges. The plotter uses two cartridges simultaneously and can plot 180 standard E-size plots in final mode or 360 E-size plots in draft mode.

New AutoCAD driver- The plotter ships with both a protected mode and a real mode AutoCAD AD1 HPGL2 driver (P/N C1633B). The protected mode driver provides a 30 to 50%increase in performance over the real mode driver and works with 386 ver-

AutoCAD with the HP DesignJet

plotter. When using either driver

with the HP Desgdet plotter, set

the graphics language designation

to HP GL. The new AutoCAD AD1

HPGL2 driver is available from

the HP forum of CompuServeTM

Front-panel improvements - The front panel provides more control. You can select drying times that match your needs and environmental conditions. Pen widths match IS0 standard sizes, ranging from 0.13 to 12.0 mm. A new paper-saving mode advances and cuts roll media drawings to the actual size of the drawing.
