If the Plotter Has Printed a Different Plot Than the One You
Were Expecting
One possibility is that you have accidentally initiated one of the plotter’s internal
plots:
The Cartridge Alignment Plot.
(A small pattern of lines without text.)
This is
printed automatically every time you replace, or reseat a cartridge.
The Current Configuration Plot
.
(A graphic and text plot with the current
configuration details) This is plotted by simultaneously pressing the two arrow
keys on the front-panel
.
The Sample Plot
.
(A graphic plot with product information) This is plotted
from the front-panel menu
Demos / Samples.
The Front-Panel Menu Plot
.
(A text plot showing the complete menu
structure) This is plotted from the front-panel menu
Demos / Menu.
The Service Configuration Plot
.
(A text plot with service information) This is
plotted from the front-panel menu
Utilities / Service Config.
The Palette Demo Plot
.
(A plot with 256 colored squares) This is plotted
from the front-panel menu
Demos / Palette.
If the Quality Of A Color Plot Is Not as Good as You Were
Expecting
Select Best on the front-panel
Print Quality
key and plot again.
Did you specify the correct media type when loading?
The highest line quality
is only produced using Opaque Bond, Coated Paper or Matte Film.
For details
of media types, see page 3-3.
To find out the plotters’ current media type
setting, see page 7-2.
Your application-software driver may be overriding the
Sharp lines
selection on
the front–panel menu.
Are you plotting something other than a line drawing, for example a
CorelDRAW! file?
If so, you may want to experiment to improve the output
quality by setting
Sharp lines
to
Off
on the front-panel menu, and plot again.
Are you plotting a CAD drawing with small raster images?
Try setting
Sharp
lines
to
On
, and plot again.
When loading the paper, specify “Heavy coated paper” on the front panel, rather
than “Coated paper”.
