COMPATIBLE PLOTTER MODELS 1. OVERVIEW The OPS662 Cutting plotter driver is designed to run on Microsoft Windows for IBM PCs and IBM-compatible PCs. This driver enables you to control Graphtec plotters through Windows in order to plot (cut) using software programs that run on Windows 95/98/Me. This driver supports output from Graphtec's cutting plotters. For a complete list of compatible Graphtec plotters, see Chapter 9, "COMPATIBLE PLOTTER MODELS." Moreover, when using this driver, note that all of the Windows functions (such as output of bitmapped images) may not be available due to restrictions of the plotter functions. Normally, the dot data is not available, so it is not output. If you need to output the dot data, please disable the sort function in the driver. Some data such as a thick line may not be output. 2.

CONFIGURING THE PLOTTER DRIVER The configuration of the plotter driver involves selecting the communications port, plotter type, paper size, page orientation, and options. Be sure to choose plotter settings that match the plotter you will be using. 3-1 Selecting the Communications Port This procedure selects the port (and interface) for use in exchanging data with the plotter. To use the RS-2323C serial interface, select a port from COM1 through COM4. To use a Centronics-compatible parallel interface, select either LPT1 or LPT2. In the steps below, the [Graphtec Plotter] icon refers to the driver you installed in the previous chapter. (1) To enable you to make the plotter driver settings, click the [Start] button and then select [Settings] with the pointer. Click [Printers] to open the [Printers] menu. If you are continuing from Chapter 2, the [Printers] menu is already open so simply proceed to step 2. (2) Select the [Graphtec Plotter] icon and display Properties. (3) Click the <Details> tab. (4) Select the port to which the plotter is actually connected from <Print to the following port>. (5) Perform <Timeout settings>. Click 600 as the value for <Not Selected>. Set the figure 600 for <Transmission Retry> as well. The transmission of data to the plotter may be suspended before it is completed if the value is too low, so be sure to set it to 600. (6) When all the displayed values are satisfactory, click the (OK) button to terminate port selection. 3-2 Selecting the Paper Source If your plotter allows you to select the paper feeding method, use this parameter to select the Paper Source parameter. Setting this parameter changes the plotter's Paper Size setting. (1) Click the [Start] button and then point to [Settings]. (2) Select the [Graphtec Plotter] icon and then display its properties. (3) Click the Paper tab. (4) To select the Paper Source parameter, click the down arrow in the Paper Source box to display the Paper Source menu, then select the desired source. (5) When the displayed setting is satisfactory, click the (OK) button. 3-3 Selecting the Paper Size The Paper Size parameter determines the plotter's effective plot area according to the settings of the Paper Source, Paper Size, Margin, and Rotated parameters. With certain applications, changing the Paper Size setting may alter the size of previously generated images, so be sure to set the Paper Size parameter before creating an image. The available Paper Size settings vary with the plotter type as described below. The size of the medium can be set to ISO, DIN, ANSI, Free Size, User Size, or Specify within application. The resulting effective plot area will consist of the respectively specified standard size or User size, minus the margins on all four sides of each page. The width of the margins will vary with the settings of the Paper Source, Margin (Normal or None), and Rotated parameters. Note: "Specify within application" uses the paper size specified within an application. Select this option when using an application that replaces the paper size set by the driver with one that is specified within the application. If no paper size is specified within an application while "Specify within application" is selected, the default value (210 mm x 297 mm) is assumed. Setting the Paper Size Either open the driver's [Properties] menu from the [Printers] menu under [Settings] or open the Graphtec Plotter dialog box by selecting <Print Setup...> from the <File> menu of the Windows application. You are now ready to select the paper size. Unless the paper standard is set to FREE, the dimensions of the currently selected paper size appear in the Paper Size box. To select a different paper standard, open the Paper Size drop-down list box and click the desired size. If the paper standard is set to FREE, click the dot preceding mm or inch in the Unit box (a black dot indicates the currently selected unit) and then input the dimensions of the plot area from the keyboard. Note: With certain Windows applications, changing the paper size setting may alter the size of previously defined plots, and the <File> menu's <Print Setup...>. option may have a different name. 3-4 Selecting the Page Orientation To select the page orientation, click the dot preceding Portrait or Landscape. A black dot indicates the currently selected page orientation. Portrait : The page is oriented vertically Landscape : The page is oriented horizontally Note: Be sure to set the page orientation before you generate plot data using a Windows application. With certain Windows applications, changing the page orientation may alter the orientation of previously defined plots. 3-5 Setting the Unit The numerical value display unit can be set to mm or inch. 3-6 Setting the Pen Parameters In addition to specifying the line width and plotting speed, you can also assign the colors available with your Windows application to your plotter's Pen Nos. * Setting Procedure To assign a color to a pen number, double click the desired <Pen> number to display the Pen Setting menu. For each pen number, input numerals from the keyboard to specify the <Pen> number, <Width>, and <Speed>. To assign a color, click the (Color Setting...) button to display the [Color Setting] menu. Specify your color by combining Red, Blue, and Green. Color assignment defines the correspondence between the screen colors displayed by your application and the plotter's Pen Nos. The number of colors which can be selected is around 16 million. If you click the (Default) button, the default colors are as follows. Try to match the colors in your application to the colors below. Pen No. Color Red Blue Green 1 Black 0 0 0 2 Blue 0 0 255 3 Red 255 0 0 4 Magenta 255 0 255 5 Green 0 255 0 6 Cyan 0 255 255 7 Yellow 255 255 0 8 Gray 128 128 128 9 Light gray 220 220 220 10 White 255 255 255 To use a color not listed above, click the <Plotting Unlisted Colors> box to assign an unlisted color to your desired Pen No. Click the down arrow under <Pen> in the <Plotting Unlisted Colors> box to specify the Pen no. you want to use. If you want to output in black only, click the (Delete) button to delete the pen list, then use <Plotting Unlisted Colors> to specify black for the desired pen(s). <Width> selects the pen which corresponds to the line width displayed by the application. However, the width setting takes precedence over the color setting, and if there are two pens of the same color, the pen with the specified width is selected. A one-dot line on the screen corresponds to a pen width of 0.1 mm. <Speed> selects the plotting speed for cutting plotters. If set to zero, the plotter's default speed setting takes effect. The <Force> parameter enables the Cutting or Pen Force value to be specified. Please refer to your User's Manual for the range of specifiable values. The <Quality> parameter enables the Quality (Acceleration) value to be specified. Please refer to your User's Manual for the range of specifiable values. The <Force> and <Quality> values are specified in tandem, and 0 cannot be specified for just one of the two parameters. If both parameters are specified as 0, the settings made at the plotter will be enabled instead. To revise any of the preceding settings, click the (Modify) button and then click the desired Pen No. To add a new pen, click the (Add...) button. To remove the pen list, click the (Delete) button. To return the pen parameters to their default settings, click the (Reset) button. Note: Clicking the (Reset) button will return the pen parameters of all the Pen Nos. to their default values. 3-7 Setting the Allowable Color Value Range This specifies the allowable range for the specified color with respect to the RGB values. If the range is set to 64, for example, the RGB values of each specified color are set with a range of +/-64 on either side of the specified color. The color specified in <Color Setting> is searched for within this range. If several colors are considered suitable, the one closest to the specified color is selected. 3-8 Adjusting the Resolution of the Line Width With many applications, even if you have changed the resolution, there is no change to the width of the lines output. On the other hand, there are also applications where the line widths are changed if you change the resolution. Use the <Line Width Adjustment> function as necessary to suit your application. 3-9 Selecting the Chart Feed Mode (When the plotter is CE3000Mk2) These settings are only valid if your plotter can handle roll paper. Click the box preceding <Feed> to enable chart feed. If you select <Page>, the paper is fed to the start of the next page after the end of every plot. If you select <Free>, the chart feed length can be freely set. (When the plotter is FC7000) These settings are only valid if your plotter can handle roll paper. Click the <Paper Feed> checkbox to specify the feed length. If the <Plotter Settings> parameter is selected, the medium is fed the length already specified at the control panel after the cutting or plotting operation is completed. If the <Length Used> parameter is selected, the medium is fed the same length as the length actually used after the cutting or plotting operation is completed. If <Free> is selected, the feed length can be freely specified. 3-10 Cross-Cutting Setting *This function is not included in the CE3000Mk2. The cross-cutting function can be used when roll media has been specified for the paper source. <Paper Feed> checkbox has been clicked to select it. If Cross Cutting is selected, the medium is fed the length specified by the Feed Length parameter and then the roll is cut. 3-11 Setting the Programmable Resolution The programmable resolution determines the minimum distance the pen travels. Set the resolution to the same setting selected at the plotter. When large characters and so forth cannot be output due to a limitation of Windows, increasing the Programmable Resolution setting may permit output. Note: Be sure to set the programmable resolution before plotting from a Windows application. With certain Windows applications, changing the resolution may alter the size of previously defined plots. 3-12 Setting the Line Pitch This specifies the spacing between the dots and/or dashes in the four line types (dot, dash, dash-dot, and dash-dot-dot). If a negative value is specified, end point compensation can be performed. End point compensation is a function which prevents a break in a line or an end point from being printed as a white space. This function can only be used, however, if the plotter comes with this function. Specifying end point compensation affects the line pitch. Furthermore, for applications where circles and curves are output as continuous straight lines, the distance between points is short and the lines are output as actual lines. End point compensation cannot be performed for this type of application. 3-13 Setting the Scaling Factor The scaling data can be selected in a range of 25% to 400%. 3-14 Selecting the Output Method for TrueType Fonts Output Outline is TrueType fonts are output as outlines. 3-15 Sorting The cutting data is sorted in order to get better cutting quality. The multiple cutting function is available only when the sort function is enabled. 3-16 Rotating an Image by 90, 180, or 270 Degrees This function specifies the angle of rotation for plotting with respect to coordinate axes selected by the [Page Orientation] setting. 0 : Output conforms to the direction specified by the [Page Orientation] setting. 90 : The image to be output is rotated 90 degrees with respect to the axes specified by the [Page Orientation] setting. 180 : The image to be output is rotated 180 degrees with respect to the axes specified by the [Page Orientation] setting. 270 : The image to be output is rotated 270 degrees with respect to the axes specified by the [Page Orientation] setting. Note: Due to the size limitations of the paper used for output, certain angles may not be specifiable. 3-17 Setting the Offset for the Origin Point The Offset parameter is used to offset the position of the coordinate system's origin point. The new origin position can be offset in 0.1-mm steps to any point within the effective plot area. Note: The Offset parameter cannot be specified if Long-axis printing has been enabled. When the Offset setting causes the size of an image to exceed the effective plot area, its surplus area will be clipped prior to output. 3-18 Registering the Driver's Settings in a File All of the settings for this plotter driver can be saved in a file. Note: The communications port setting cannot be saved. By loading this file by a driver installed in another computer, you can immediately use the same settings. (1) Open the Properties menu of the Graphtec Plotter dialogue box. (2) Click the (Register...) button to display the [Register] menu. (3) Click the (Save As...) button to open the dialogue box for entering the filename, then input the desired filename and click the (OK) button. (4) Click the (Close) button to complete the operation. Settings that have been saved in a file can be loaded as follows: (1) Open the Properties menu of the Graphtec Plotter dialogue box.

(3) Click the (Open...) button to open the dialogue box for selecting the filename, then select the desired filename and click the (OK) button. (4) Click the (Close) button to complete the operation. 4. CONFIGURING THE COMMUNICATIONS PORT If the plotter and computer are connected via the RS-232C serial interface, it is necessary to set the interface parameters for data transfer. Using the procedure described in this chapter, select the same settings for the computer's serial port that you have set at your plotter. Unless the interface settings match at both the plotter and computer, data cannot be properly transmitted. (1) Click the [Start] button and select [Settings] with the pointer. Click [Printers] to open the [Printers] menu. (2) Click the [Graphtec Plotter] icon to display [Properties]. (3) Click the <Details> tab and then click the (Port Setting...) button. (4) The [COMn Properties] menu is displayed. Make the <Bits per second>, <Data bits>, <Parity>, <Stop bits>, and <Flow control> settings. (5) When all the displayed values are satisfactory, click the (OK) button. 5. HOW TO PERFORM OUTPUT FROM APPLICATION SOFTWARE (1) Install and configure the plotter driver as described in the preceding chapters. (2) Boot a Windows application. (3) To confirm that the plotter driver is correctly installed, select the [Print Setup...] menu from the [File] menu of your Windows application. If the settings are OK, click the (OK) button. (4) Generate the plot data using the Windows application. (5) When you have finished, click the <Print...> option on your <File> menu. (6) The "Printing" message appears and the plot data is sent to the plotter where it is plotted. (7) If you selected <FILE> as the communications port, the [Print to File] box appears. Input the drive, directory, and filename of the output file. When you click the (OK) button, an output file is generated. Note: With certain Windows applications, the [File] Menu's [Print Setup...] and [Print...] menus may have different names. 6. NOTES ON USE (1) This driver can only output vector data. (2) Even if the Windows applications can display opaque lines and planes that obscure the graphics underneath, they will be plotted as transparent graphics. (3) When using paint or draw applications with cutting plotters, the background may be solid-filled or the same characters or lines may be plotted repeatedly at the same position. (4) Certain Windows applications cannot use the plotter's internal fonts and will send character data to the plotter as a set of vector data. (5) 0.1 mm of the pen's line width setting corresponds to one dot of the displayed line width. If a pen with the specified line width is not available, the pen with the closest line width will be used for plotting. (6) Configure the plotter driver (resolution, paper size, etc.) before you generate plot data using a Windows application. With certain applications, changing the settings may alter the size of previously defined plots. (7) Even after changing the driver's settings from a software application, your new settings may not always take effect. If this happens, change the driver's settings from the Printer folder. (8) When outputting vector data using a cutting plotter, if an image displayed by a Windows application hasbeen revised by painting it over with white, the plotter may output theplot without the revision. If a solid-fill white background is selected, the entire page may become filled with color, as the pen which has been assigned to "white" will plot the background. (9) Even if the BINARY command mode is enabled from your software application, it may not be possible to specify multiple copies for the [Copies] function. In such case, change the setting at the Printer folder. (10) If the 0.025 mm resolution has been selected, the maximum plotting area in a Windows application is limited to 819 mm. (11) Proportional fonts will not be correctly output. (12) If the Programmable Resolution setting is too low, TrueType fonts may not be properly output. (13) If the Programmable Resolution setting is too low, hatched or filled figures (characters) may not be output due to the limited buffer capacity of the plotter. (14) If you wish to specify the cutting force separately for the X and Y axes, please make the settings at the plotter control panel. At this time, make sure that no cutting force or quality settings have been specified with the software. (15) The multiple cutting function is available only when the sort function is enabled. (16) Clipping is disabled if the Sorting function is used. Even if the application has specified output of only one part of the drawing, the entire drawing may be output. 7.
