Page size | This can be specified from the front panel or in the software, where it may be |
| called ``Page Sizeº, ``Media Sizeº, ``Paper Sizeº etc., and where the options |
| include, for example, ISO A3, ANSI Letter, Architectural E and Custom. If the |
| drivers setting is ``defaultº, the front panel setting is used. Any other software |
| setting overrides the front panel setting, unless the latter is Inked area and you are |
| sending a PostScript file: in this case the front panel setting takes precedence. |
| When using the AutoCAD driver the ªUser Sizeº is the plotting area. |
Margins | These are specific to the plotter and are normally 17 mm on the leading and trailing |
| edges and 5 mm on the sides. The 17 mm can be adjusted for roll media, as |
| explained on page |
Plotting area | This is the page size minus the margins. For a table showing the plotting areas for |
| standard media sizes, see page |
| This is the smallest rectangle that contains the entire drawing, while maintaining its |
| relative dimensions. |
