Media Terminology
0023
Page size This can be specified from the front panel or in the software, where it may be
called ‘‘Page Size”, ‘‘Media Size”, ‘‘Paper Size” etc., and where the options
include, for example, ISO A3, ANSI Letter, Architectural E and Custom. If the
drivers setting is ‘‘default”, the front panel setting is used. Any other software
setting overrides the front panel setting, unless the latter is
Inked area and you are
sending a PostScript file: in this case the front panel setting takes precedence.
When using the AutoCAD driver the “User Size” is the plotting area.
Margins These are specific to the plotter and are normally 17 mm on the leading and trailing
edges and 5 mm on the sides. The 17 mm can be adjusted for roll media, as
explained on page 11-3.
Plotting area This is the page size minus the margins. For a table showing the plotting areas for
standard media sizes, see page 11-6.
Inked area This is the smallest rectangle that contains the entire drawing, while maintaining its
relative dimensions.
