    We purchased a HP800 PS 42 plotter a couple of months ago and we are trying
    to setup our borders to plot. We want to be able to plot a 24x36 border and
    have no cuts to make. Is there a way to do this? We were able to configure
    our old HP650c plotter for one cut 24x36 and no cuts on 30x42 border. But
    haven't had any success with the 800. Any help would be appreciated.

    Using the latest drive V6.11 and Data file Version V2.0. with autocad 2002.

    Thanks,

    We are able to do it without having to make any cuts. It takes 2 paper roll
    sizes, 30'' for 30x42 and 36'' for the 24x36. Also, be aware that the type
    of paper selected at the plotter, vellum, coated bond, etc, will affect the
    margin size which is just plain stupid. So, we always set paper type to
    coated bond because expanded (smaller) margins are not an option with
    vellum.

    Exact size everytime, good luck.
