Forgot how to send Plot directly to plotter

I used to be able edit a plot driver to make plot files, pdf's and/or send a plot directly to the plotter. It has been a while since I did that and now I need to send directly to the plotter. I remember modifying the line "defallt_outFile/auto_overwrite= "lpt1". I don't remember what else I needed to send to "PXXUSSND.........". I am trying to modify the hplg2.plt file. Please can somebody jar this old mind????

  • I have copied pdf.plt and made these additions to print directly to our postscript ready KIP plotter:

     

    default_outFile/auto_overwrite = "t:\$(USERNAME).pdf"

    ; The following line is defined in standards.cfg to define the temp archive paths
    ; program /wait /post /command='$(COMSPEC) /c xcopy "$(MS_PLTOUT)" "$(DGN_PLT_ARCHIVE)" /i /y /q'

    ; The following option will direct output to the plotter
    program /wait /post /command='$(COMSPEC) /c copy $(MS_PLTOUT) \\kipstf\KIP6000'

    ; The following option will open the plotted pdf
    ; program /wait /post /command='$(COMSPEC) /c "t:\$(USERNAME).pdf'
