7–34 Digital Emulation
Setting Plot Density
The printer can plot in several different densities (dots per inch), from 30
dots per inch to 200 dpi.
The Plot mode fonts contain the information for the vertical and horizontal
densities they use. Determine non–text imaging densities (for sixels, bar
codes) by using these innate commands. Default values for both the vertical
and horizontal densities for graphic work are 100.
While density changes can occur anywhere on a page, they can also cause
vertical negative paper motion while printing. Judicious planning minimizes
this effect.
Plot speed is adversely effected by changes in density: the higher the density,
the slower the speed. Hence, plotting in 50 x 50 density is four times faster
than plotting in 100 x 100. If speed is a consideration, select lower density
plotting. The lowest density plot font available is the 60 x 75 density.
