Software setup options

Ioline recommends using FlexPlot for marker making on the FJ
Printer. FlexPlot offers the most robust and fl exible workfl ow
available for creating output. It's especially useful when many fi le
formats are used, a common situation for service bureaus. To set-up
and learn how to use the software, see the FlexPlot User Guide.
The FJ Printer is designed to work in many different production
environments. The type of marker printing you do will often deter-
mine your preferred communication method. Two typical methods
for sending markers are:
1. Plot directly from the marker or design software to the
printer. (See Figure 10.)
Unlike other marker printers, the FJ Printer is capable of oper-
ating as a stand-alone device with no extra software running
on the computer. This method works if your CAD software in-
cludes a driver for any Ioline product, such as the Ioline 600Ae
or the Summit 2200. It will also work if the CAD software can
create a compatible HPGL- or DM/ PL- formatted fi le.
