David,
You cant directly from 3ds, the easiest & cheapest is to run PaintshopPro v3.0
or higher under windows, its easy cheap & is quite fast, else any paint program
that can take in a suitable file format will do.
Hope that helps
David
David,
There is a driver that works from inside 3DS (Image Print?) but I haven't heard
anything really good about it — but it does the job.
If you plan to be sending a lot of images to your plotter, I would strongly
recommend a JetDirect card so you can pass the data along at Ethernet speeds…
If you are fortunate enough to have the Postscript option on your 650c and
plenty of RAM in the thing, Photoshop will print Postscipt Level II (JPEG) to
your plotter — and the whole process really flies (24"x36" images finished in
less than 10 minutes!).
If you want to take a more direct approach (no extra RAM or boards required on
the plotter) , (and aren't intimidated by command line syntax<g>), Image
Alchemy 386 will convert image files from almost every format known to formats
that are native to the 650c — and it's a great tool for doing lots of
conversions and image processing from batch files.
