Printer type:

e.g.ISO_DWF_ePlot_mono_full -,

The value should always be followed by a hyphen e.g. -. It is this value, less the hyphen that links to the Queues.ini file printer type.

Configuration file:

e.g. Config=DWF ePlot,

If no configuration file is specified CADplot will use the system printer driver of the printer or plotter selected. CADplot will automatically install the system printer driver if it cannot be found on the client PC.

Output filename extension:

e.g. Extension=DWF,

If no extension is specified CADplot will default to using '.PLT'. Any extension value can be used.

Media file units:

e.g. Units=mm,

If no units are specified CADplot will assume millimetres.

The only values that can be used are: inches, mm, millimetres or pixels.

Output size:

e.g. MediaType=Locale

If the MediaType is not specified CADplot will assume Canonical. The only values that can be used are 'Locale' or 'Canonical'

Locale sizes are aliases or friendly names for a canonical size and are the sizes listed in the printer driver paper size list.

Canonical sizes are the absolute sizes used by the printer driver.

Note:

A comma should separate each printer type value.
