Setting Up the Plotter

Task 9: Set Up Your Software

Typical Checklist of Tasks to Set Up Your Software

1Identify which driver you need.

Some are supplied with this plotter, as listed in the table on page 1-37. Others are supplied with your application software.

2If necessary, install the driver on your computer, see the table on page 1-37.

3Add this plotter to the device list in the software.

This list may be accessed, for example, through CONFIG / Add a Plotter (in AutoCAD), Printer setup (in Microsoft Windows applications) or Printer type (in Macintosh applications). In most cases, you don't need to add the plotter for each individual software application, but, for example, just once for all Microsoft Windows applications.

4Configure the driver.

This usually involves a series of dialog boxes where you can specify such items as default media type, print quality etc.

IMPORTANT

In most cases these settings will override any settings you make on the front panel

 

of the plotter.
