To Perform a Long-axis Plot (HP-GL/2 Plotters)

The 7600 series plotter, DesignJets, DraftPro Plus, and the DraftMaster with roll feed can do long-axis plots.

1. In the Plot dialog box, select a long-axis HP-GL/2 plotter.
2. Specify any size greater than 64 inches along the X axis.

   The following prompt is displayed:

   Long axis plot is selected. Plotter steps/inch = nnn

3. Plot in the normal manner.

   For best results, plot to extents, do not rotate the plot, and use an explicit one-to-one scale (not Scale to Fit).

4. To stop your plotter after the program has finished sending all the vectors, clear the plotter memory using the plotter’s control panel.
5. To stop a long-axis plot while the program is sending vectors to the plotter, press Esc.
