Hard Clip Area
In the HP-GL mode, the plottable area is determined in line with the paper size, apart
from the printable area. This area is called the "hard clip area", and determines the
maximum range of pen movement. Accordingly, images cannot be drawn outside the
boundary of the hard clip area. This machine allows you to select a hard clip area from
the following:
Standard
Defines the printable area of the machine as the hard clip area.
Paper
Defines a size same as the paper size as the hard clip area. However, the area that
allows actual printing is within the printable area.
The hard clip area can be set either with HP-GL emulation mode settings or by the
specified hard clip command “&I”.
The following coordinate values present an example of when the origin is set at the
lower left (Auto Layout in HP-GL/2) of A3 sheet.
950-965 (Pen
density)
(No. 0-No.15)
Sets the color of the 16 pens (No. 00 to 15). You can set the color from 0
to 250% in 1% increments. The default value is [0] for No. 0, and [100] for
the others. No. 00 denotes Item No. 950.
[0] - [255] : 0 to 250 (color)
