Emulation (vertical resolution)
The emulation function adjusts the vertical resolution of the plot
(along the media length). The settings are P0, n0, P3, and n3. P0
and n0 are used with 200 scans/inch of plot data. The default
setting (P3) is 203 scans per inch (equal to 203 dots per inch- dpi).
P3 and n3 are used for 203 scans/inch of plot data. P and n stand
for Positive and negative scaling for the scaling menu. If n is selected,
the scaling factors are from no scale to -14/16” over 36” of output
plot. If P is selected, the scaling factors are from no scale to +14/
16” over 36” of plot.
Note that the horizontal resolution is determined by the printhead
dot density, which is 203 dpi. The plotter can emulate 200 dpi
vertical resolution (E0 and n0 settings), to match the rastered host
data (for Imperial units).
Form feed length
The form feed length function adjusts the distance that the media is
advanced in off-line mode and when a remote function is sent. To
form feed media, put the plotter in offline mode and press the
FORMFEED/ADVANCE button without holding.
Menu settings are: F2, F4, F8, tF,PF.
F2, F4, F8 cause 2”, 4”, or 8” of media to be advanced upon a
formfeed. If a TOF mark is detected before the formfeed is completed
the plotter will stop upon detecting the mark, or to what the PF
setting is.
tF results in the plotter advancing up to 18” while detecting for the
Top of Form mark on fan fold media. The top-of-form setting (tF)
allows the plotter to detect top-of-form marks. These marks signal
the plotter to stop the form feed at a consistent distance from the
perforated edge of the paper.
