HP Plotter

[Jimmy D]

Thanks Tony for the reply.

I'm using a 350mhz PC, Win98, Corel Draw V8. I draw vector images, and always plot from print preview. I don't type any coordinates in, just send the image.

I was doing more snooping around the HP manuals, and between them, found this:
HP-GL/2 units of measure

The plotter can use plotter units or user units
"Under default conditions, the unit uses plotter-units"

1 plotter-unit=0.025mm(0.00098inch)
40 plotter-units=1mm
1016 plotter-units=1 inch
3.39 plotter-units=1 dot at 300 DPI

Here is a chart that was with the PS info I posted before:
parameter_______format______range________________________default
length                   integer           0 to 8388607 plotter-units            depends on media size
width                    integer           0 to 8388607 plotter-units            depends on media size.

These manuals were scanned and saved in Acrobat reader. Print quality seems good
but maybe there's a decimal I'm not seeing???
1016 into 8388607 is 8256.50... 12 into 8256.5 is 688.
688 feet? I'm missing something here. It did say plotter-units, not user units.
Oh well thanks again.
