For Non-PostScript Files
■ The printer adds the rotation setting to any rotation angle you specify in your
software. For example:
For software applications which, like the printer, rotate counter-clockwise the
result is the sum of the rotation selected in the printer and the rotation selected in
the software application. For example, if your software specifies 180 degrees
rotation, and you set
Rotate in the front panel to 90, your drawing’s final rotation
will be 270 degrees.
For software applications which rotate clockwise, the result is the difference
between the rotation selected in the printer and the rotation selected in the
software application. For example, if your software specifies 90 degrees
rotation, and you set
Rotate in the front panel to 90, there will be no rotation.
■ Possibility of Clipped Images with Rotated Images
With either roll or sheet media, if you rotate an image to landscape whose
original orientation was portrait, the media may not be wide enough for the
drawing, and it may be clipped. For example, rotating a portrait D/A1-size image
on D/A1-size media by 90 degrees will probably result in a clipped image.
