DesignJet 500 Plot uglplot on UGNX

(OP)
What Kind of profile Have I to use with this plotter?
It is connected to a win98 machine in our small LAN.

I tried to use a 7580/UGIIHP profile mapped to the remote share: i can see on the plotter display that it is processing something, but it doesn't print.

RE: DesignJet 500 Plot uglplot on UGNX

Which version of NX? NX3 is a different plot mechanism than prior versions.

If the plotter is processing, but not plotting, try to set plot rotation. You may be plotting out in space.

We are using both NX1 and NX2.

Is it correct to setup the plotter with the 7580 profile?

RE: DesignJet 500 Plot uglplot on UGNX

Either the 7580 or the 7596 should work for a HPGL pen plotter.
