3.3 Auto Layout 31
Example:
Assume that the following data is input when Zoom Mode = Output Size, Origin Position =
Auto, Paper Margin = 10 mm, Area Determine = IP.
All pen widths are set to 0.1 mm.
The following data does not contain a character size specification command and the
physical size of the area specified by IP/IW is A3.
IN;
IP -8399, -5938, 8399, 5938;
IW -8399, -5938, 8399, 5938;
PU;
SP1;
:

SP0;
1. [Area Determine] is set to [IP], so the area (-8399, -5938, 8399, 5938) specified by the
IP command is determined as the effective coordinate area.
2. The data in the above example contains no character size specification command and
all pen widths are 0.1 mm, so the size that is one half the default height of the
character on A3 paper (75 plotter unit) is added to the size of the effective coordinate
area obtained in 1.
Effective coordinate area obtained in 2: -8474, -6013, 8474, 6013
3. The area specified by [Paper Margin] (10 mm = 400 plotter unit) is removed from the
effective coordinate area obtained in 2.
Effective coordinate area obtained in 3: -8074, -5613, 8074, 5613
4. The effective coordinate area obtained in 3 is of the A3 size (greater than the A4 size),
so the document size is judged as being A3.
The effective coordinate area obtained when [Paper Margin] is set to [0 mm] is (-8474,
-6013, 8474, 6013), so its size is greater than A3 up to A2 inclusive. The document
size is judged as being A2.
Determining the Output Size
When the following settings are made on the control panel, the paper size is determined as
described below.
• Document Size: Auto
• Paper Tray: Auto
The method of determining the paper size varies depending on the [Output Size] setting and
[Zoom Mode] setting on the control panel.
When [Output Size] Is Set to [A size]
The size (A4 or A5) of the paper set in the tray actually becomes the candidate value.
If A-size (A4 or A5) paper is not set in the tray, all A-sizes (A4 and A5) become the candidate
values and an error message prompting you to load A-size paper in the tray appears on the
control panel.
