Configure Hewlett-Packard DesignJets

Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotters are supported by a Windows system printer driver developed by Hewlett-Packard. Visit to check for the latest HP DesignJet drivers.

Plotters from other manufacturers that emulate HP DesignJets are supported through the HP-GL/2 HDI driver.

AutoCAD ® supports the Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotter models through a serial or a parallel port. Using the parallel port is recommended. If you use a serial port, set the DesignJet at 9600 baud, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and hardware handshaking XON/XOFF.

All DesignJet roll-feed models can produce long-axis plots. Both the 600 and 650C have an optional expanded mode for page formats and margins. You set the Expanded mode on the plotter's front panel.

Note: If you experience plotting problems, such as resolution degradation for lines and shaded solids, when plotting to an Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotter, contact Hewlett-Packard for support.
