Set up the printer

In Plot Print Mode

1. Choose File > Print .
2. Click the Setup button.

   The Print Setup window opens.

3. Click the Output tab in the Print Setup window.
4. Choose the Printer.
5. Set the Output Style:
   • If you are printing to a PostScript printer, choose PostScript. If you are printing paint layers on canvases, you must use a printer that supports PostScript Level 3.
   • If you are printing to an HP/GL printer, choose one of the HP/GL options. If your printer supports color, choose HP/GL2. Otherwise, check your printer manual to find out which protocol your printer uses.
     NoteIt is important to set this option correctly. Sending PostScript output to an HP/GL printer or vice versa only prints pages of indecipherable code.
     TipYou can also print to non-PostScript/HPGL printers with some restrictions.

     See Print to a non-PostScript/HPGL2 printer.

6. If you must change low-level or advanced options on a PostScript printer, click PostScript features.
7. Use the options on the Paper tab to choose the paper type and size.

   For printers fed by a continuous roll of paper, set the paper type to Rollfeed. For “normal” printers fed by a tray with sheets of paper, set the paper type to Pre-cut.

8. When you’re done, close the setup window.
