Operating instructions

• Type
Specifies anisotropic or isotropic scaling.
Type=0: Anisotropic scaling
Enables user units along the X-axis to be a different size than user units
along the Y-axis.
The scaling command causes printed images to be distorted.
For example, if you print a circle, the circle might be oval- shaped.
Left and bottom parameters are ignored for this scaling.
Type=1: Isotropic scaling
Produces the same-sized user units on the X- and Y-axes. The printer
adjusts the location of (X
MIN
, Y
MIN
) and (X
MAX
, Y
MAX
) so that the largest
isotropic area is fit within the P1/P2 limits.
Type=2: Sets a ratio of plotter units to user units and P1 coordinates in user
units.
• Left, Bottom
Places the isotropic area within the P1 and P2 limits.
The left and bottom parameters should be always set together, and are valid for
isotropic scaling only. The left and bottom parameters mean the percentage of
the unused space on the left and bottom of isotropic area.
The default of the left and bottom parameters is 50%. Refer to Figure 3.48.
Although you should specify both parameters at one time, only one is applied:
when there is extra horizontal space, the left parameter is applied, and with
extra vertical space, the bottom parameter is applied.
