Data Graphics Nicolet Plotters and Windows

• Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

Printing graphics from Windows using a Nicolet Zeta-8 Plotter may produce garbled or incomplete output.

RESOLUTION

This plotter is designed to emulate the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL), and should use the Windows HPGL drivers 7475A, 7485A, and 7485B, depending on the plotter model.

To determine whether proper emulation is possible, contact Data Graphics for additional technical support assistance.

MORE INFORMATION

HPGL is a language designed for storing graphical images. Originally developed for plotter images, HPGL translates graphics into a metafile format (files of instructions that a program can use to re-create the original image). HPGL graphics can be used by applications that can interpret the HPGL format.

Customers with plotters manufactured prior to 1985 can upgrade to emulate HPGL by obtaining firmware from Data Graphics. To determine if this upgrade is necessary, contact Nicolet Technical Support.

For additional information, a firmware upgrade, or to determine a proper emulation, please contact Data Graphics Technical Support.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
