emulation of
HP

Features and benefits
HP
GL
emulation
-
HP Desgdet plotter supports
HP GL through an HP
7586B
emulation mode.
If
you use HP GL
drivers or HP GL as your standard
plotter language, you now can use
the HP DesignJet plotter. The
plotter uses
HPGL2 and HP RTL,
a raster transfer language that
allows vector and raster data to be
merged in a single plot.
Network inmace options
-
Both the original and the
enhanced HP
Desgdet plotter
will
work
with
the HP JetDirect
card
(P/N C2059T) for
UNIX
-
based systems, including HP-UX,
Sun ficrosystems SunOS, and
SCO
UNIX.
With
this
interface
installed in the plotter's modular
interface option slot, the plotter
can be placed anywhere on the
network for location flexibility.
The card allows data to be
transferred as fast as the plotter
can accept it. The
HP
Desgdet
plotter also works
with
the
HP JetDirect card for Novell
NetWare Ethernet (P/N C2059A)
and the HP JetDirect card for
HP
-
IB (P/N 16424).

(P/N 51626A) also work with

simultaneously and can plot

in
final mode
or 360 E
-
size plots in
draft
mode.
New
AutoCAD
driver
-
The
plotter ships
with
both a protected
mode and a real mode AutoCAD
AD1 HPGL2 driver (P/N C1633B).
The protected mode driver
provides a 30 to
50% increase
in
performance over the real mode
driver and works

386 ver
-
sions of AutoCAD Releases 10 and
11.

with the HP
Desgdet plotter, set
the graphics language designation
to
HP GL. The new AutoCAD AD1
HPGL2 driver
