Troubleshooting Solving Problems with Plot Position or Content If the Plot Is Clipped This normally indicates a discrepancy between the actual plotting area on the loaded media and the plotting area as understood by your software. For general advice on plotting areas and page size, see chapter 4. Check the actual plotting area for the media size you have loaded. Plotting area = media size minus margins. For media size and margins, see page 11-2. For actual plotting areas, see page 11-6. Check what your software understands to be the plotting area (which it may call "printable area" or "imageable area"). For example, AutoCAD assumes standard plotting areas that are larger than those used in this plotter. Check that the orientation of the media is the same as that assumed by your software. The front-panel Page format / Rotate option changes the orientation of a drawing and, on roll media, the orientation of the page. It is possible that a rotated plot on roll media may be slightly clipped in order to retain the correct page size, as explained on page 4-8. You may have asked to rotate the plot from portrait to landscape on media that is not wide enough, for example a D/A1-size plot rotated on a D/A1-size roll. If necessary, change the plotting area in your software. For example, in AutoCAD, specify User Sizes (see AutoCAD documentation). The file may be too big for the plotter's memory. This is the case if the front panel displays "Out of memory - data was lost". For information on memory expansion modules, see page 11-14. If a Long-Axis Plot Is Clipped Does your software support long-axis plots? Have you specified an appropriate media size in your software? Make sure that the plotter's Page format / Size is set to Inked area. 9-12
