PLOT file for HP DesignJet & scaling

(OP)
Hi,
I work with Catia 4.24 on HP-UX 11.00. Our plotter HP DesignJet 430 works very well with Catia. In plotting script (/home/catadm/pltcfg/*) I see:
----------------
...
*BEGIN_PARAM
*EXPORT HPGL2
*SCD  1.
*BUF  6000
*SIZ  -1 890.
*RAN 9 255
*NPI 400
*NBP 16
*XLC YES
*END_PARAM
...
---------------
Our problem is the output is always the real size of plan (A0, A1, A2,...). Now I wouls like to know how to scale the plan at output of plotter: for example, in Catia this is A0 format and I would like to print at A3 format.

How to do that please ? Which option I have to add into my script ?

Thanks you in advances,
Regards,
NDQ
