To Specify Graphics Settings

Depending on the capabilities of your configured plotter, you can modify the plotter's color depth, resolution, or dithering and specify whether the output is color or monochrome for vector drawings.

When printing raster images on a plotter with limited memory, you can specify some image-quality trade-offs to improve performance. If you use a nonsystem plotter that supports varying amounts of installed RAM, you can provide the program with that information to improve performance.

  1. Click Application menu Print Manage Plotters. Find
  2. Double-click the plotter configuration (PC3) file whose pen settings you want to change.

    • Select Installed Memory and enter the amount of memory available in the plotter.

    • Select Raster Graphics and specify a balance between output quality and performance.
    • Select TrueType Text and select the way you want to print TrueType text.
