I believe setting the plotter to "Fast" or "Draft" mode sets it
bi-directional. I think you can do this either in the driver or at the
plotter.

if its a network plotter I believe the only place you can change that is at
the print server under your ports tab.

I think he was talking about the print head plotting in both directions so
plots come out faster. Bi-directionality at the ports usually has to do with
communication parameters, and not print head movement. 'Good reminder,
though...

I think you are right John...serves me right for reading to fast.

In that case, setting the plotter to plot at draft mode should accomplish
that.
