3.3 Auto Layout
This section explains auto layout.
What Is Auto Layout?
Auto layout is the function that judges the file size according to the HP-GL data input from
the host system, enlarges/reduces the document so that it fits the paper size, and lays out
the document at the center of the paper. Using the auto scale and auto layout functions
allows you to print a document in HP-GL mode without regard for the file size and origin
position.
All auto layout settings must be made on the operation panel of the printer. They cannot be
made using advanced setting commands.
Making the Auto Layout Function Effective
To make the auto layout function effective, make the following settings on the control panel
of the printer:
• Set [File Size] to [Auto]. The default is [Auto].
• To set the origin position, set [Auto Layout] to [On]. The default is [On].
• Set [Zoom] to [On]. The default is [On].
• Select the method of obtaining the effective coordinate area in [Area Determine]. The
default is [Auto].
