ADT 3.3: Slow transfer to printer

Hi,
we are using ADT 3.3 on W2K. Our Plotter DJ750C is connected to one of our
Workstations, which is part of a little peer - to - peer - network. When we
send a plot-file to the plotter, the workstation´s CPU is for 100 %
occupied with handling the file. It takes 15min. to process a coloured file
of 6MB. Does anybody have an idea how to change this situation. Thanks for
any clue.

Are you using truetype fonts? Autodesk released an autocad update to
improve speed with truetype fonts. also try reducing textqlty to 8
instead of the default 50. I've never seen a significant difference in
the quality of output but the file size shrinks enormously and the
result is a much quicker plot. This affects your generating of the
drawing, your transfer speed, and the plotter time to interpret the results.
