In this way, you can ensure that a drawing that has exactly

the same size as a standard format is printed on this size

paper thereby avoiding an unnecessary waste of paper.

• Pen Limits:

− Min:

Enter the minimum pen widths using the keyboard. The

information entered here affects all CalComp pens.

As there are plotters in which even at the finest resolution the

individual pixels are not reliably reproduced, a minimum

pen size is indispensable in these cases. Should one of your

settings not cover the plotter circumstances and no longer

guarantee the printout of a drawing object, RW-480

PLOTBASE automatically adjusts the pen widths.

− Max:

Using the keyboard, enter the maximum pen widths. The

entry affects all CalComp pens.

Analog to the problem with the minimum pen widths, you

can set the maximum thickness that the pen draws, e.g. to

prevent the drawn objects from overlapping when printed.

Setting the maximum pen widths on the other hand is less

seldom necessary. Should one of your settings not cover the

plotter circumstances and no longer guarantee the printout

of a drawing object, RW-480 PLOTBASE automatically

adjusts the pen widths.

• Step sizes:

Some time ago, most plotters had stepper motors, which ran

at a varying number of steps per centimeter. In the

meantime, the standard is 800 steps per centimeter. The

RW-480 PLOTBASE therefore enters 800 as a default value,

which does not normally have to be altered. Nevertheless, it

is sometimes advisable to ask the customer what step

number per centimeter they are used to working with to

guarantee plot consistency. Furthermore, it can be necessary

to make a change to reduce the DPI, to release more system

memory for large drawings:
