Phaser 600, anyone?

  1. I just got my hands on a tektronix phaser 600 and am having the usual setup
    problems. I was wondering if anyone else is using one and how they're
    coming along.

    Specifically, I am plotting to 36" roll stock Most of my plots will be
    half-size D plots, making the bottom edge of the plot 18" long and the left
    edge of the plot 12". In the driver dialog for setting up paper sizes,
    there is only one B size selection. I am used to seeing two: one that is
    18" x 12" and the other that is 12" x 18" (arch d, obviously).

    When I plot one of these b-sized plots, the right 1/3 of the drawing is
    truncated, giving me a plot that is 12" x 12". I assume this is because the
    plotter or AutoCAD thinks I am plotting to a piece of paper inserted with
    the short edge going parallel to the roller.

    I've tried plotting landscape and portrait, but neither works. The plots
    work fine if I plot to D-size, but who wants to have 36" x 36" of paper for
    a b-size plot?

    Help!
