We have a KIP6000 printer. I'm resolving, or trying to resolve some nagging plotting problems. then bring these refinements to other ACAD machines throughout our office.
The problem I'm having is that test rectangles representing all the page sizes, 17x11, 22x17, 34x22, etc all came out cut off.
This was a result of having set the margins to zero, so I went back and gave .25 margins all around. Guess what, still cut off. Worse yet, it seems that this stupid plotting utility wants to expand the "margins", but not to reduce the plot size/scale.
I've used "fit to plot" and sent drawings scaled during this misadventure. Every plot comes back cut off on at least one side.
What angers me is that, aside from the physical limitations that plotters have, printing a full 36" swath on 36" paper - margins on 36" X 500' rolls of paper are pure idiocy, or at least this dysfunctional manner of managing them, but I'll digress as best I can...
I'm about done with ideas of my own. Hopefully someone out there can sense into all this.
