Changing the plotter’s logical pen characteristics

The characteristics of the plotter’s logical pens, referenced by your software, can
be set either by software or by the settings for pens 1 through 8 in the Setup Sheet.
The default is to use settings from the software.

Sometimes you may, for example, want to produce a set of drawings all with the
same pen settings, but without having to change the software settings for the
individual drawings. In this case you can choose to provide the pen settings from
the plotter.

If you want to provide your own settings in the plotter and use those, use the

Pen

Settings

section in the Setup Sheet and select

Use settings from tables below

.

Using this option, you can specify the

Width

and

Color/Grayscale

of logical pens

1 through 8.

Item

Available options

Pens

1 through 8.

Width (mm)

0.13, 0.18, 0.25, 0.35, 0.50, 0.70, 1.00

Note that 0.13 mm is a one-pixel line width and renders
some colors as a dot pattern.

Grayscale (%)

100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10, 5

Color

Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta, Cyan

For the HP DesignJet 330, only pen

Width

and

Grayscale

are available.

Once you have chosen your pen settings, you can change back to

Use settings

from software

and your settings will be saved for future use if you require.

Note. If you want to produce black and white drawings instead of grayscale, then,
unless your driver has an option for this, choose

Use settings from tables below

and set all 8 pens to

Black/100% Grayscale

. If you are using one of the Windows

drivers supplied with the plotter, you must set this in the driver since the driver
overrides the

Pen Settings

in the Setup Sheet.
