Printing With EPSON Plot!
Before starting EPSON Plot!, do the following to prepare for
printing:
Install the
EPSON Stylus COLOR 3000 Windows printer
software on the computer connected to the printer. (See the
Quick Setup booklet for instructions.)
Turn on the printer.
Create an HPGL or HPGL/2 plot file using your plotter
software on any system.
Copy that plot file to the system connected to the printer, if
necessary.
Now follow these steps to open
EPSON Plot! and print:
1. Double-click the
EPSON Plot! icon in the EPSON Plot!
program group or folder. You see the following screen:
2. Select
Open File from the File menu.
3. In the Open File dialog box, choose the HPGL or HPGL/2
file you want to print and click
OK. A representation of the
file contents appears in the Live Paper Space in
EPSON
Plot!:
Note:
When you create plot
files for printing, use an
HPGL/2 driver whenever
possible. HPGL/2 drivers
do a better job of
maintaining the colors
assigned in your CAD
application than HPGL
drivers, which may limit
you to 8 or 16 pen colors.
