Controlling the Page Format
Page Size
To save wasting media you can plot a page size equal to the inked area plus the margins. This setting may be available in your driver, it can also be selected by changing the front panel menu to ªInked areaº.
Do You Need to Adjust the Page Size in the Front Panel?Depending on the driver you are using, you may not need to change the page size in the front panel. The default setting of the plotter looks to your software for the page size settings: if it is there, the plotter uses it.
However, some of the circumstances in which you may want to change the default setting are:
If you want to print the inked area only, but the driver you are using does not specify ªInked areaº.
In this case, set Page format / Size to Inked area.
Note: If you can select Inked area from your driver, any selection you have made in the front panel menu will be overridden by the settings in the driver.
When the plots you are creating need to be of a specific standard (for example, ISO or ANSI), but the actual size within that standard is not important. For example, your page size may need to conform to a standard ISO page size, but it does not matter whether the final page size is ISO A4 or ISO A3.
In this case, set Page format / Size to ISO > Best... or ANSI > Best ... etc. The plotter uses the smallest standard size into which the inked area will fit.
