Emulations

Notes The HP-GL user-defined character (UC) command downloads and draws characters with an encoding scheme that uses pen control movements and coordinate sequences. The characters are drawn on a grid that is superimposed on the character plot cell.

Expand Mode

Defines a larger imageable area for the selected media type. This increased imageable area affects the default placement of the scaling points P1 and P2.

Menu	Administration/Emulations/HPGL/Expand Mode
Choices	On—Expands the imageable area.
	Off—Doesn’t expand the imageable area.
Default	Off
Notes	Setting this option to On partially determines the range of
	plotter units for a selected media type. When the plotter
	senses the media type, it automatically sets the hard clip limits
	to 0.591"/15 mm on three sides and to 1.537"/39 mm on the
	fourth side. However, if Expand Mode is set to On, then the
	limits are set to 0.197"/5 mm on three sides and 1.143"/29 mm
	on the fourth side.
	The HP-GL emulation senses the media size when the Paper
	Type is set to Scale to Paper or when it is set to a particular
	media size through the control panel or through a QMS
	Document Option Command.

Origin

Sets the image offset from the plotter’s origin in 0.01" increments.
