If you send a file without print parameters to RW-480
PLOTBASE, the RW-480 PLOTBASE basic settings are used. If
you want to send your own print parameters with the plot, you
have to first send the CFG file, which must have the same name
as the graphic file, and then send the graphic file itself!
Attention: Always send the CFG or SSL file with your
print parameters first, then send the graphic file. Oth-
erwise there is a risk that RW-480 PLOTBASE begins to
print your file before it has received your own print pa-
rameters for the print (CFG or SSL file).
