    Controlling your plot’s appearance Page size When do you need to adjust the page size in the plotter? Normally you don’t need to. The default setting in the plotter is: Inked Area. With this setting, the plotter interacts with your application, or software driver, and saves wasted media by using a page size equal to the inked area plus the margins (see page 3–3).

  • Page 77: To Adjust The Page Size In The Setup Sheet

    3–3. Software The plotter looks to your software for a page size instruction in HP-GL/2 (the plotter’s graphics language instruction set). If it is there, the plotter uses that page size plus margins. If not, the plotted page size is the inked area plus margins.
