Task 9: Set up the plotter in your application software
“Application software” is the software from which you intend to send plots to your
plotter – for example, a CAD system.
What is a driver? Your application software needs to know to which type of plotter it is sending
information. This knowledge, and other configuration information, is held in a
“driver.” A driver is a piece of software that handles communications between
your application software and a peripheral, for example a plotter. Drivers are
usually supplied as part of the application software, but they are also available
separately. If supplied separately, you need to install them separately.
AutoCAD Supplied with this plotter is a pack containing drivers for AutoCAD for DOS and
AutoCAD for Windows. Please refer to the documentation supplied with these
drivers.
Windows applications Supplied with this plotter is a pack containing a driver for applications that work
with Microsoft Windows. Please refer to the documentation supplied with this
driver.
Other applications Users of other applications should first check any Software Application Notes
supplied with the plotter, to see if their application is covered there.
For other applications, on the next page is a general recommendation as to which
device to choose when setting up this plotter. Device lists are not always up to date
with the latest plotters, and so with some software you may have to choose a
plotter other than the HP DesignJet 330 or the HP DesignJet 350C from the device
list.
