Setting up your plotter Task 9: Set up the plotter in your application software Task 9: Set up the plotter in your application software "Application software" is the software from which you intend to send plots to your plotter - for example, a CAD system. What is a driver? 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." A driver is a piece of software that handles communications between your application software and a peripheral, for example a plotter. Drivers are usually supplied as part of the application software, but they are also available separately. If supplied separately, you need to install them separately. AutoCAD Supplied with this plotter is a pack containing drivers for AutoCAD for DOS and AutoCAD for Windows. Please refer to the documentation supplied with these drivers. Windows applications Supplied with this plotter is a pack containing a driver for applications that work with Microsoft Windows. Please refer to the documentation supplied with this driver. Other applications Users of other applications should first check any Software Application Notes supplied with the plotter, to see if their application is covered there. For other applications, on the next page is a general recommendation as to which device to choose when setting up this plotter. Device lists are not always up to date with the latest plotters, and so with some software you may have to choose a plotter other than the HP DesignJet 330 or the HP DesignJet 350C from the device list. 1-24
