RE: MI Long plots on HP750

1999-11-07 Thread Paul Grambauer

Tim,
We use a HP2500cp, but the option of custom page size is only available on 
WIN95 drivers, and is not available on WINNT drivers. Maybe the same thing 
is occuring with the HP750C?

Hope this helps

Tim,
We have an HP750C+ with an HP JetDirect network connection on our NT
network and WIN95 workstations.  We have produced long plots without
problems.  In the Page Setup dialogue, you can select 'Other' [or
'Custom'?] for plot dimensions rather than one of the standard sizes.
This will open a second dialogue which allows you to set height and
width to any size.  The Page Setup dialogue is necessary if you are
plotting a layout; otherwise, if you are merely printing from a map
window, you can access the above dialogues through the Print | Printer
Properties dialogue.

The HP750C driver provides an option to process 'in computer' rather
than in printer and to set 'auto-rotation' on [if that is appropriate
for your layout]; we use these setting whenever the plotting job looks
like it will place a heavy demand on the HP750C - this to save time and
wasted media if there is a chance of printer memory overload.

72" is the maximum length that we have plotted - this was also a raster
plot using MapInfo 4.5, so the MI/HP combination 'will' do what you
want.
