Plot Management

How to Create and Define Plot Attributes

  Plot attributes define the following characteristics of an output device:
 
  • Paper: plot media, e.g. paper or transparency film
  • DIN-Format, e.g. A5 or A4
  • Folding modes: defines the folding modes if the plot device supports folding and if the folding function is enabled
  • Scale modes: defines the scale mode for plot output
  • Plotter setup: plot server system configuration parameters
  • Banners: enables the banner plot function
  • Start time modes: optional start time parameter for plot job

These attributes must be defined prior to the definition of a new output device or plotter default values and before the plot job is executed!

The definition and configuration of individual attributes must be executed in the corresponding masks:

Select System > Plot management > Plotter attributes > ... (e.g. Media types, Paper size, etc.).
The corresponding mask is opened.

 

Attributes are used in the fields of the Definition of plotter defaults mask. To open this mask, select System > Plot management > Plotter defaults.
The function of individual fields is described in Define plotter default values.
