Plotted drawing is different than what shows up on "Preview" |
|
|
I can not seem to print a 24x36" drawing on our plotter. (worked just fine w/ ACAD 14). We have a roll of 24" wide paper & I have tried every combination of setings i can think of and I still can not get this to work. When I hit the preview button, the drawing looks perfect, but then when I print it, the drawing prints as if we have 36" wide paper (cuts off the end and we are left with a 24x24" square). Our plotter does not hadle 36" wide paper very well, so we need to use the 24" wide roll. Please help!
Thank you.

Please post with version of Autocad you now use, what model plotter you
have, and how the plotter is connected (directly to a parallel port, on
a network printer server, etc.). Hard to troubleshoot when without
knowing what your configuration is.

It has been awhile since I used a 750 but you might want to make sure you
have your windows driver set for the 24 inch roll as the paper source. The
default is 36 inch or at least it is with the newer plotters.
