HP-GL/2 Printing

This printer supports printing using the original Canon GARO printer control language and printing using HP-GL/2 and HP RTL emulation to print in colors resembling the colors produced by printers from other companies. The printer automatically switches to the corresponding processing depending on whether a GARO or HP-GL/2 and HP RTL emulation job is received.

•

GARO is an abbreviation of Graphic Arts Language with Raster Operations.

Note

•

HP-GL/2 is an abbreviation of Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language/2, and HP RTL is an abbreviation of HewlettPackard Raster Transfer Language.

•

Emulation is good for obtaining results similar to printing on other printers.

Enhanced Printing Options Printing CAD Drawings

When printing from applications that support HP-GL/2 output, specify HP-GL/2 in the application's plotter output settings. HP-GL/2 and HP RTL emulation related settings such as the printer to emulate are configured from the printer Control Panel. (Refer to "Menu Structure ➔ P.410 " and "Menu Settings ➔ P.416 ")

•

For instructions on configuring these settings, refer to the software documentation.

Note

It may not be possible to print jobs with excessively large amounts of data correctly.

more time than regular printing.

Economy Printing When this mode is selected, less ink is consumed than in regular printing, but the quality is

diminished. Select this mode if you want to conserve ink when checking drawings, for example. Depending on the Media Type and Print Quality settings, this mode may not be available.

However, if Oversize paper is selected, printing is performed by taking the margins necessary for printer operations outside of the region of the original to give the result as shown in Figure (c).

Borderless Printing at Actual Size

Take advantage of borderless printing to print documents such as posters (made up mainly of photos or images) without a surrounding margin, or border.

Enhanced Printing Options Printing at full size

In regular printing, a margin required by the printer is added around the original. With borderless printing, you can print documents without the margin, so that the printed image covers the entire surface of the paper.

Borderless printing is only available with rolls.

Paper you can use for borderless printing is restricted to particular types of paper and rolls of particular widths.

ery of the original.

•

If the length of the image to print is short, then since the roll paper is fed out to a prescribed length before cutting in order to prevent cutting problems and ejection problems, the trailing edge of the roll paper might not be printed borderless.

•

These features cannot be used in combination with borderless printing: special page layouts, centering originals, and printing cut lines on rolls.

•

If Fit Paper Size or Print Image with Actual Size (Windows only) is selected while performing borderless printing, Rotate Page 90 degrees (Conserve Paper) cannot be selected. Note that if borderless printing is possible, then even if the original is rotated 90 degrees, it will be printed by automatically rotating the page by 90 degrees.

Not all page sizes are available.

When performing borderless printing without using Print Image with Actual Size, the image deteriorates slightly because the image is automatically enlarged.

Take advantage of borderless printing to print documents such as posters (made up mainly of photos or images) without a surrounding margin, or border. In regular printing, a margin required by the printer is added around the original. With borderless printing, you can print documents without the margin, so that the printed image covers the entire surface of the paper.
