OCE 9400 page setup

We have recently acquired an OCE 9400 plotter, I'm trying to plot 24"x36" drawings. I have it set to landscape but it plots to an E size paper leaving me with about 5" of excess above and below the drawing. Margins on the left and right seem just fine though. I'm using ACAD 2004 and I've tried new drivers with no luck. If anyone has some info on this please reply or e-mail me at .

 

After 7 hours of trial and error to fox this problem, I've finally come up with a fix for it and I thought I would post it just incase someone else might need the info. You need to set the roll width on the Plotter itself (Program/Media Settings/Roll?/width/"E" 36") to "E" size paper even though you are plotting "D" sized sheets. Works just fine now. Didn't make much sense to me at the time but make sense now that I know.

 

We've had this ridiculous problem with our new Oce TDS400. In general it
seems Oce doesn't understand the necessity of their drivers being able to
directly interface with Acad, and this particular problem has seemed to be
related to wipeouts or other types of raster, but not all of them. The
workaround we found was to:
set the paper size to 36x48
set your orientation to PORTRAIT
and plot the LAYOUT, as opposed to a View, Window or Extents

Looks goofy in preview but it seems to work. Hope Oce gets it together
because they've got some great hardware. Trying to use it in a high volume
CAD environment has been a reall headache because of the software though.
