2 roll plotting

2 roll plotting

2 roll plotting

(OP)
Using NX8.5.1.3 and a Xerox 6204 wide format plotter with 2 rolls. One is 20 bond the other is vellum.
I don't find anywhere in plotting how to pick which roll to plot to.
How can I set this up, or is this even possible?
Thanks.

RE: 2 roll plotting

Are you plotting to it from NX at the moment?
If you are, then you need to go into the Print Administrator and edit the Model you are using.
You then specify the two different rolls and for each roll create an initialisation file that has the codes your plotter needs to specify the roll to use.
