Overview

Note
In order to output to the FlexJet
E or StudioJet printer, your
apparel design software must
create plot files in HPGL 7475
or DM/PL format. Alternatively,
you can output markers using the
FlexPlot software, included with
the printer. FlexPlot imports and
converts a variety of file formats
for output to your Ioline printer.

Note
The Ioline Control Center
and FlexPlot will only run on
the Windows® 2000/XP/Vista
operating systems. Most design
software provides drivers for
Ioline printers. Contact Ioline
customer service if you need as-
sistance with drivers.
