SETUP 1 Setting Up the Plotter Task 9: Set Up Your Software Task 9: Set Up Your Software This section gives a simple overview of the software-configuration tasks you need to perform and is designed for those users unfamiliar with this type of task. It also points to documents containing detailed, application-specific advice. More experienced users may prefer to go straight to those documents. For UNIX systems, see also the tips starting on page 1-40. Basic Terminology Application software Application software means the software from which you intend to send plots to your plotter - for example, a CAD system, a graphics package, a desktop publishing system etc. Drivers Your application software needs to know to which type of plotter it is sending information. This knowledge, and other configuration information, is held in a "driver." The driver is a piece of software that handles communications between your application software and your plotter. To make sure that your plotter prints exactly what you expect - in terms of size, position, orientation and quality - use the correct driver for the combination of your application software and your plotter. 1-35
