■ Printable Bounds: Displays the print boundaries.
Media Type
Displays a list of the media types supported by the plotter configuration.
Duplex Printing
Determines double-sided printing and binding margin. Binding margin options
are available only for plotters that support duplex printing.
■ None: Indicates no double-sided printing.
■ Short Side: Places the binding margin on the short side of the paper.
■ Long Side: Places the binding margin on the long side of the paper.
Media Destination
Displays a list of available media destinations for the configured plotter, such
as collating, cutting, and stapling. These options are available only for plotters
that support this function.
Physical Pen Configuration Node (for Pen Plotters Only)
Controls the specific pens in the pen plotter. The lower pane of the Device
and Document Settings tab displays a table used to describe the color, width,
and speed of each pen in the plotter.
NOTE The physical pen information cannot be detected automatically; you must
provide this information for your pen plotter under Physical Pen Characteristics.
Pen Configuration Specifies settings for pen plotters.
■ Prompt for Pen Swapping: Use more than one pen while plotting on a
single-pen plotter. Under Physical Pen Characteristics, you can specify
settings for as many pens as you want. You are prompted when you need
to change pens.
■ Area Fill Correction: Enables the program to compensate for pen widths when
plotting filled areas and wide polylines. Each polygon is shrunk by half of
the width of the pen used to draw it. This option prevents the plotter from
oversizing the filled area when using a wide pen and ensures precision.
Use this option if the plot must be accurate to half the pen width, such as
in printed circuit artwork.
■ Pen Optimization Level: Reduces plot time and increases the efficiency of the
pens by optimizing the pen motion. For example, you can prevent pens
from retracing duplicate lines. If your drawing uses many colors or widths,
