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 machine allows you to select a hard clip area from the following:
Standard
Defines the printable area of the machine as the hard clip area.
Pen attributes 900-915
(Pen
intersects)
(No. 0-No.15)
Set the process for when pens' lines intersect for 16 pens (No. 00 to 15). No.
00 denotes Item No. 900.
[0] (Default) : None
[1] : Intersect
[2] : Round
[3] : Cut
[None]
[Intersect]
[Round]
[Cut]
Note • [None] is suitable for drafts because it takes shortest processing time.
• If a symbol is set by symbol command, the link process is not executed.
The symbol command is an HP-GL/2 command for specifying a symbol.
950-965
(Pen density)
(No. 0-No.15)
Sets the density of the 16 pens (No. 00 to 15). You can set the density from 0
to 250% in 1% increments. The default value is [0] for No. 0, and [100] for
the others. No. 00 denotes Item No. 950.
[0] - [255] : 0 to 250 (density)
