Application Software - ENCAD 215319-1 User Manual

On the print server, make sure the printer is not waiting because of a fault.
Make sure the printer is not set up as a login terminal.

Application Software

Isolating a problem to your software
Sometimes printing problems are application software-specific.
Try printing the "Demo Plot" on the Utilities disk. If the demo prints, the printer's health
is probably good.
Try printing a simple file from your application or from another application. If this prints
correctly, the problem may be with your software.
If you are using a Windows application and the file does not print from Windows, try
printing a file from DOS. If this prints correctly, your problem may be with your Win-
dows driver or Windows setup.
Difficulty generating prints ranging from A to D size
Many software applications limit the maximum print size to "C" or "D" size due to the
way that they map their internal coordinate system to memory.
Some applications which limit maximum print size are listed below:
Microsoft Word: 22 x 22"
Lotus 123: 17 x 22"
CorelDRAW: 30 x 30" (TIFF files are limited to 11 x 17")
Microsoft Project: 36 x 61"
Micrographx Designer: 68" maximum
Ashlar Vellum: 101" maximum
Windows GDI Print Length Limitation
The Windows operating system uses a Graphics Device Interface which limits printing to
16,000 pixels. The paper length at 300 dots per inch is equal to 16,000 divided by 300.
What all this means is:
There is a limit of 53" for vector data in Windows 95. For raster images, the limit is 109".
