How To Plot

The KSA IT Staff has assembled these instructions to guide students as you plot via the plotters.

The school has two different types of plotters:

  • OCE 320 plotters
    We have 2 of these plotters, both of which are in the Advanced Computing Lab in room 448. They are 36" grayscale roll plotters which use PostScript drivers for vector or raster output.
  • HP 4500 plotters
    We have 3 of these plotters, and they are all located in the Advanced Computing Lab in room 448. They are 36" roll plotters, and print in 4 colors (CMYK) for the full range of color output. They operate using either HPGL drivers (for CAD output) or PostScript drivers (for all raster output). The best applications to use with these plotters are Acrobat, AutoCAD, Freehand, and Photoshop.

Please select the software you are interested in from the menu at left. If the software you are attempting to use is not listed, please reconsider your choice of software. Applications like Powerpoint or Word are not meant to produce large-format output, and should not be used for this purpose.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the IT Staff via the addresses below.
