PRINTER
Elizabeth, I'm not sure how you're plotting (extents, limits, window) but the
most successful way to plot is to put a rectangle around your drawing that is
the plotters maximum plot size. Printers cannot plot to the very edge of the
paper; therefore the plot size must be smaller than 8.5×11. On HP Laserjets I
use 7.95×10.35. So I make a rectangle that size and position it around the
drawing to be plotted. I then plot WINDOW using the intersections of the lower
left and upper right corners. Under paper size you MUST enter 7.95 as the width
and 10.35 as the height (yes in that order). You must also pay attention to the
rotation angle. If you need a landscape print the rotation angle must be 90.
This is the opposite of a regular pen plotter.
Alot of verbage. If you have any questions please contact me at (901) 682-9484
