OCE 9400 page setup |
|
|
We have recently acquired an OCE 9400 plotter, I'm trying to plot 24"x36" drawings. I have it set to landscape but it plots to an E size paper leaving me with about 5" of excess above and below the drawing. Margins on the left and right seem just fine though. I'm using ACAD 2004 and I've tried new drivers with no luck. If anyone has some info on this please reply or e-mail me at mike.reynolds@doralcorporation.com.

| After 7 hours of trial and error to fox this problem, I've finally come up with a fix for it and I thought I would post it just incase someone else might need the info. You need to set the roll width on the Plotter itself (Program/Media Settings/Roll?/width/"E" 36") to "E" size paper even though you are plotting "D" sized sheets. Works just fine now. Didn't make much sense to me at the time but make sense now that I know. |

We've had this ridiculous problem with our new Oce TDS400. In general it
seems Oce doesn't understand the necessity of their drivers being able to
directly interface with Acad, and this particular problem has seemed to be
related to wipeouts or other types of raster, but not all of them. The
workaround we found was to:
set the paper size to 36x48
set your orientation to PORTRAIT
and plot the LAYOUT, as opposed to a View, Window or Extents
Looks goofy in preview but it seems to work. Hope Oce gets it together
because they've got some great hardware. Trying to use it in a high volume
CAD environment has been a reall headache because of the software though. |

Dear Sir,
In an effort to try to find assistance for a problem I am having at work with plotting
the correct sheet size on our Oce TDS400 I came across an old message that
you posted on CadForum.net
I am hoping that you are still checking this site and can help me out.
The problem is that when trying to plot a 24"x36" sheet it is coming out on an
"E" page which is wasting paper. We are using AutoCad 2002 & 2007 and
we have the same problems with both programs.
In your message posted on Mar. 18, 2005 to help another gentleman who was having
a similar problem you said that you did three things. 1) set the paper size to 36x48; 2)
set orientation to Portrait and 3) plot in "Layout" as opposed to View, Window or Extents.
This did solve part of my problem in that the left and right margins came out correctly
but the top margin which I think is where the 48" comes into play was wasted paper.
Can you help?
Thanks |
