CALCOMP EMULATION OPTION COMMENTS
CalComp 906 and 907 pen plotter data format files are processed by the
Controller using the CalComp 906/907 emulation. The CalComp PCI
extensions, and several CalComp 951 electrostatic plotter data format
commands are also supported.
The serial host interface handshaking protocol is not supported at this time.
Therefore, all commands beginning with the 08 prefix are ignored by the
Controller CalComp implementation.
Most plot terminator commands are supported and can be set via the
8825/8830 printer control panel, or remotely using the Xerox Printer Manager
Tool software.
The Calcomp plot terminator commands are Force Plot, Start Plot, Manual,
New Plot, Top of Form, Pause (Yes or No), EOP (1, 2, or none), Search
Address (999, 9999, Both, or None).
The CalComp step sizes are user-defined using the 8825/8830 printer control
panel, or remotely using HP-PJL. Any numeric value from 50 to 4064 dpi is
accepted.
CalComp 906/907, is supported with user-defined printer pen palettes.
These palettes allow the width, color, and pattern to be specified for a given
pen number.
The 8825/8830 printer will render the color attribute of the palette as levels of
gray scale.
Pen palette support includes eight user-definable palettes (1 - 8), and one
factory default palette (palette 0) which cannot be changed. The 8825/8830
printer control panel is used to define the palette content for the data format
interpreter CalComp.
The user-defined palettes can also be specified using the Xerox Printer
Manager Tool software. The pen width, pattern, and color can all be
controlled individually for each pen.
You may set whether the job or the palette controls the attributes per pen and
per attribute.
