This article will cover how to format your plotter print jobs to avoid these potentially costly errors. 'Large' in this case meaning that at least one dimension of your printed document is greater than or equal to 24' (24 inches, or two feet), the width of the paper rolls our plotters use. If you are unfamiliar with using the plotters, or haven't used them in a while, improperly printing documents (particularly large documents) on them may result in extra cost due to incorrect orientation, and/or parts of the document being visually truncated in the final print. The plotter is still automatically mapped on the ME Tux machines, and it's possible to manually map it on the Windows lab machines, as described in this KB article.

Please note that for the moment, me-1262-plotter is not automatically mapped on the ME Windows lab machines due to conflicting with the automatic mapping of the me-1262-duplex printers. If you want to look up specifications, the 1262 ME plotter is an HP Designjet 510 24in Printer, while the 1249 EH plotter is an HP Designjet T790ps 24in PS3. One is in 1262 Mechanical Engineering, and is primarily used by people in the 1200 wing of ME, while the other is in 1249 Engineering Hall.

*3:As opposed to standard borderless printing, there will be a small margin on the left and right because the paper width is set a little bit smaller than the width of the document.

*2:When you perform borderless printing, it is recommended that you use these widths.*1:For details on media types that can be used for borderless printing, see ' Paper Information List.'.Inner diameter of paper core: 2 or 3 inches Outer diameter is 5.9 inches (150 mm) or less Rolls that meet the following conditions are supported.
