Reference Guide

Control

Control determines whether certain printing parameters are set in the software
application or overridden by the printer's front panel. Control overrides the
following parameters of the HP-GL/2 header file: repeat plot (RP) and enable
auto cutter (EC).

Repeat Plot: With Control set to Printer, the printer will ignore RP commands
in the plot file and only print one plot. From the printer's front panel you can
specify additional copies using the Reprints menu.

Enable Auto Cutter: With Control set to Printer, the printer will ignore EC
commands in the plot file and will not automatically cut after each plot. From the
printer's front panel, you can enable automatic cutting or initiate a command for a
single cut.

✓ Do not override software control when sending merged raster/vector data to the

printer.

Rotation

The printer automatically prints an image with the long side on the paper axis. To
better fit images and save media, you can use the Rotation option to turn vector
files counterclockwise 90 degrees at a time. If the rotation specified won't fit on
the media or contains raster images, it will not be rotated. When the Rotate value
is set to AUTO, the algorithm will automatically rotate the plot if it determines
that the rotation will save media (regardless of whether Nesting is enabled). If
Rotate is set to 0, the plot will not be rotated. The Control function does not
override the RO command in the plot file.

Note: Rotation is supported for HP-GL/2 files only. It is not supported for RTL
files.
