Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotters are supported by a Windows system printer driver developed by Hewlett-Packard. Visit http://hp.com/go/designjet to check for the latest HP DesignJet drivers.

Plotters from other manufacturers that emulate HP DesignJets are supported through the HP-GL/2 HDI driver.

AutoCAD® supports the Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotter models through a serial or a parallel port. Using the parallel port is recommended. If you use a serial port, set the DesignJet at 9600 baud, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and hardware handshaking XON/XOFF.

All DesignJet roll-feed models can produce long-axis plots. Both the 600 and 650C have an optional expanded mode for page formats and margins. You set the Expanded mode on the plotter's front panel.

NoteIf you experience plotting problems, such as resolution degradation for lines and shaded solids, when plotting to an Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotter, contact Hewlett-Packard for support.
