Printing Using the
HP-GL/2 or HP RTL
Mode from a
Computer
The printer can emulate
*
HP-GL/2 (compatible with
HP Designjet 750C) and HP RTL. This section
describes the settings of the printer and the settings in
the CAD application for printing while emulating.
* Not all functions are supported. If you will use an
untested application, test its output in advance.
c
Important:
The printer may not perform as expected if the
size of the data to be printed is extremely large.
Note:
CAD drawings can also be printed using the CAD/ line
drawing mode of the supplied printer driver. We
recommend printing from the printer driver when you
want to print with better image quality.
