Auto Layout
This section explains Auto Layout.
What is Auto Layout?
Auto Layout is a function that evaluates document size using the HP-GL data entered
from a host system and enlarges or reduces the document size corresponding to the
paper size so that data plotted is placed in the center of the paper. Using the Auto
Scaling/Auto Layout function enables you to print a document in the HP-GL mode
without concern for document size and origin position.
All Auto Layout settings can be made in the [HP-GL/2 - Programming] screen (Select
the <Machine Status> button > [Print Mode] > [HP-GL/2 Emulation] > [Programming]).
The settings cannot be made with advanced commands.
