Ways to control the plot’s appearance
Note. Throughout this chapter there are references to “pens”. The pens referred to
are not the plotter’s physical print cartridges, but “logical” pens used in a software
palette.
This chapter discusses the ways in which you can control the appearance of your
plots, in terms of:
page size
plot orientation
the treatment of overlapping lines
pen characteristics (widths and color/grayscale levels)
rendering color drawings in monochrome
overall print quality and resolution
Apart from print quality, these controls are only available using the setup-sheet, an
example of which is shown on page 1–21. Print quality can be changed from the
front panel. This chapter explains the controls in the same order as in the list
above.
Changing the settings of these controls using the Setup Sheet is explained from
page 1–19.
It is also possible to change these settings within many applications and many
software drivers. In some cases, the plotter is in control, in some cases the
application or software driver is in control, and in other cases, the plotter interacts
with the application or software driver. Which is the case in which circumstances
is made clear in this chapter.
