Can you plot long plots to XES8825?

Have 8825 plotter and use it heavily for plotting from Autocad and from our document management system. Occasionally run into an oversize drawing, and can't get either program to print a long plot. Since it's a roll of paper it seems that you should be able to do this. Setting in the plotter itself? Or different drivers?

Since I had trouble creating custom paper sizes to my 8830 (as far as I
know, you can only create 1 custom size), I used my plot file driver and
used the AccXes tools to print that file. This gave me much more
flexibility to create whatever paper size I needed. It's a little longer to
do, but it's worked well for me so far.

To do long plots using the system driver you define custom and/or user-
defined paper sizes.

To be honest, I'm not sure how you do long plots using the HDI driver, but
I know that you can, many of our test plots are long.
