The HP 7470A Plotter does not support two plots per page output. If you use an HP 7470A Plotter with the HP 8591C cable TV analyzer, you can select one or four plots per page, but not two plots per page.

For a multipen plotter, the pens of the plotter draw the different components of the screen as follows:
