#Printer Plotter programs — declared parent_msg_num=(none), resolved parent_id points to #(none)
Is there a program available which takes AutoCad (V 2.52 -9) and makes full
use of a dot matrix printer as a plotting device? I have seen printer-plotter
output for the 2.52 on a NEC P-6 using the Epson FX-80 printer plotter
emulation and it seems to deliver a 60 x 120 dots/inch output, with a space
between adjacemnt lines It does not seem to take into account the potential
of the printer and its 24 pins as a plotting device with its 360 x 360
dots/inch capability. I am expecially interested in using a printer such as
the Toshiba 421SL with a carbon ribbon to produce output which can be easily
copied and the 14 inch width. Occas ionally I have seen ads for what
apparently amounts to a Screen Dump driver, but this would not deliver what
AC apparently is capable of either. Anyone know of such a program, especially
for the Toshiba and their unique requirements?

Joseph-
I've used a program called adiPLOT which is advertised in the mags. It
improves the FX resolution quite a bit and works from the AutoCAD ADI driver.
You basically do a PRPLOT to file and this program does the dump to the
printer! Makes some nice plots!
