HP-GL/2 Emulation
Factory Default Settings
In HP-GL or HP-GL/2 emulation mode factory default setting, the document is reduced or
enlarged to print according to the paper size (Auto Layout).
Paper Margin
The paper size is set to A series paper by factory default. If the print data is larger than the
active coordinates area, the device prints the data on the next larger A series paper (for
example, the next larger size of A5 is A4).
When you set the paper margins, however, the active coordinates area is determined by
subtracting the area set in paper margins from the active coordinates area obtained in the
area determination mode. Therefore, set the paper margins if the data is printed on larger
paper than specified.
Hard Clip Area
In the HP-GL mode, the plottable area is determined in line with the paper size, apart from
the printable area. This area is called the "hard clip area", and determines the maximum
range of pen movement. Accordingly, images cannot be drawn outside the boundary of the
hard clip area. This device allows you to select a hard clip area from the following:
Standard
Defines the printable area of the device as the hard clip area.
Paper
Defines a size same as the paper size as the hard clip area. However, the area that allows
actual printing is within the printable area.
The hard clip area can be set either with HP-GL emulation mode settings or by the specified
hard clip command "&I".
