How to Determine Paper Size
If the operation panel settings are as follows, the paper size is determined as below.
Document size: Auto
Paper Tray: Auto
The method for determining the paper size differs according to the paper size and scaling
mode settings on the operation panel.
If the Paper Size Setting is A Sizes
The paper sizes among the two sizes (A4 or A5) that are actually loaded in the trays
become the possible paper size.
If A series paper (A4 or A5) is not loaded in the trays, both sizes, A4 and A5 become possible
sizes; a message is displayed on the touch screen prompting the user to load A series paper.
If the Paper Size Setting is Auto
The paper sizes among the two sizes (A4 or A5) that are actually loaded in the trays
become the possible paper size.
If A4 or A5 paper is not loaded in the trays, both sizes, A4 and A5 become possible sizes; a
message is displayed on the touch screen prompting the user to load paper.
If the Scaling Mode Setting is Paper Size
If the paper size and the document size are the same, select paper that is the same size as
the document.
If the document size is larger than any possible paper sizes, select the largest paper.
If the document size is smaller than any possible paper sizes, select the smallest paper.
If the Scaling Mode Setting is ACA
Select the smallest paper size that can contain the ACA.
If the active coordinates area is larger than any possible paper sizes, select the largest
paper.
If the active coordinates area is smaller than any possible paper sizes, select the smallest
paper.
Note
If the document size is set to anything other than Auto, the paper size is the one set on the control panel.
If the paper tray is set to Auto, the paper size is the one loaded in each tray. However, If paper whose size is
not supported is loaded, an error message will be displayed prompting the user to load a supported paper.
How to Determine the Scaling Ratio
When auto scaling is being used, although the scaling ratio is determined by document size
and paper size, it differs according to the scale mode setting.
Note
To activate scaling, set the scaling to ON on the [HP-GL/2 Emulation] screen. If it is set to OFF, it is plotted at
the same scale (100%).
If the Document Size is Auto and the Scaling Mode is Paper Size
The hard clip setting is inactive. The hard clip area is always the paper's hard clip area.
If the document size = paper size, it plots at the same scale (100%).
If the document size > paper size, it plots at a reduced scale.
If the document size < paper size, it plots at the same scale (100%).
