Adi Driver; Stopping Printing - ENCAD 215319-1 User Manual

ADI driver

The ENCAD ADI driver lets you print to ENCAD printers from AutoCAD. Use it to
print files created with AutoCAD DOS and Windows Releases 12, 13, 14, and 1 5. This
driver uses the HP-RTL command language to send data to the printer. For details on its
installation and use, refer to the user guide provided on the CD-ROM.
Á
To print from the ADI driver:
1 Open a drawing into AutoCAD's drawing editor. Select the printer icon, print
or plot from the FILES menu, or enter plot at AutoCAD's Command prompt
to print a drawing.
2 AutoCAD will display a plot configuration dialog box. Make the selections
necessary to specify your drawing. If the ENCAD driver does not appear as
the name at the top of the dialog box, click the Device and Default Selection
button, click on the ENCAD driver, and click OK.
3 From the Plot Configuration box, click the Pen Assignments button to set
pens for each color in your AutoCAD drawing. See the discussion on colors
and printer pens below.
4 After all settings are to your satisfaction, choose OK to start the printing
process.

Stopping Printing

To stop the printing process while AutoCAD is sending data to the printer, abort by
typing:
Ctrl-C in DOS Releases 12, 13; and
Escape key in Windows Releases 12, 13, 14.
Spooling
The driver uses AutoCAD dispatcher functions for all communication with the printer.
As a result, the driver supports the use of an optional separate spooler. The use and
configuration of a spooler is described in your AutoCAD Installation and Performance
Guide. See also the section below on AutoCAD's Autospool facility.
Further details on printing with the ADI driver are included on the CD-ROM.
