Plotting paper sizes

Plotting paper sizes

Plotting paper sizes

(OP)
We have SW05 w/SP2 and plotting on HP650C. My problem is I don't get the option for oversized paper sizes nor can I specify a custom paper size. I'm not sure what ploitter driver is installed. My guess would be it's a driver issue. What driver do I need? Could something else be wrong? We recently got this plotter and the before we were only printing 8.5 X 11 prints on a regular office printer. Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: Plotting paper sizes

Find your plotter in the control panel. Right click and go to edit printing preferences. On the paper size tab there is a button for more sizes. Click the more sizes button, a new window opens with used standards column. Make sure the size types you want use have check marks in the box.

RE: Plotting paper sizes

Go to Start > Printers then RMB on the HP650C icon.  Go to the advanced tab to validate the correct driver.  Also, is this shared on the network or direct to your computer?  I have to HP DesignJet 800 and see all paper sizes including oversize.

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

Driver is C28598. Is that the correct/latest one? It is on the server. Looks like I need IT to load custom sizes from what I can tell. Thanks

Driver is C2859B. Sorry

Here is a link to a driver

Per this website the driver you're using is correct if you're using true font.
