Does anyone use Bentley PLT drivers for KIP5000 plotter?

I am trying in the plt file to re-direct the plot to use the vellum roll in drawer #2 - is this possible?

I really don't want to use the Windows driver.

 

Thanks!

  • Have you tried setting something like:
    /tray="Roll #1"

    Have a look at the "Device Propertyy Page" tab on the Properties Dialog for your printer to see the tray/drawer names.

    from printer.plt:

    ;   /tray
    ;           This value can be any valid tray name for that printer, e.g. Tray1, "Manual Feeder", etc.
    ;           Each printer manufacturer may have a different a list of tray names which
    ;           are valid for their particular printer.
    ;          
    ;           The easiest way to determine valid tray names is to open the Print Setup dialog
    ;           from MicroStation (or other application) pick the appropriate printer/plotter
    ;           and look in the Paper Size list box to see the valid names.
    ;          
    ;           Note: Some manufacturers have used tray names which contain characters outside
    ;           the normal ASCII printable range. To handle this case, the user can enter a "?"
    ;           in place of any character and MicroStation will match the actual name.
    ;          
    ;           If the tray name contains spaces or '/', it should be enclosed in "" or ''.
    ;           If the tray name contains " (double quote) as part of the name, the single quote
    ;           pair should be used.
    ;
    ;           The /tray qualifier is optional.  If omitted, the Windows default setting for the
    ;           named printer will be used.
