Hard Clip Area
In the HP-GL mode, the plottable area is determined in accordance with the printable area.
This area is called the hard clip area, which defines the maximum area for pen movement.
This means that imaging is impossible outside of the hard clip area. This printer lets you
select from among the following hard clip areas.
• Normal
Defines the printable area of this machine as the hard clip area.
• Output Size
Defines the output size equivalent as the hard clip area. Actually, images can be printed
only within the printable area.
The hard clip area can be specified by making the HP-GL emulation mode setting or using
the hard clip specification command [&I].
The coordinates in the figure below show the hard clip area when the origin is the lower left
of A3-size (with HP-GL/2 auto layout).
