HP Designjet 650C Printer - MacOS: Long Axis Plotting from a Macintosh

Long axis plotting

Long axis plotting is the ability to print a single continuous plot longer than the standard page size, such as a banner. Long axis plotting, in general, is defined as 55 inches to 150 feet in length.

Long axis plotting from a Macintosh

  • Restricted to a maximum length of 9 feet
  • The ability to select long axis plot page sizes requires the HP Designjet 650C PPD v 2.0 and the HP LaserJet Driver v 8.1.1, or later
  • Third-party QuickDraw, RTL, or HPGL/2 drivers may support longer plots
note:
The above PPD and HP LaserJet driver have been discontinued. They may still be available through third-party vendors. This information is presented as a minimum requirement for long axis plotting.
Long axis plots typically require a lot more memory and may increase the possibility of exceeding the printer's memory capacity.
