Capabilities

• Prints correctly from standard Windows programs to HPGL, HP-GL/2 and DMPL devices
• Prints efficient vector output
• Custom page size support
• Vertical tiling on selected rollfeed devices

Limitations

• In evaluation mode, WinLINE is fully functional but overprints a spoiling message on each page of the output
• Sorry, no Mac, no Linux, just Windows.
• WinLINE does not attempt to render bitmap images on pen plotters, vinyl cutters or engravers

Usefulness

• The most efficient, consistent and reliable way to print engineering and design drawings from Windows to a vector device
• Works with Hewlett Packard pen plotters from the earliest HPGL model through to the last HP-GL/2 model manufactured
• Works with most other pen plotters and output devices that support HPGL, HP-GL/2 or DMPL languages
• Compatible with popular and obscure Windows CAD, Charting, Diagramming, Office, Engineering and Illustration applications from publishers everywhere
• Easy to install, easy to use
• Gives you control over the way your drawing is positioned on the sheet and the sheet is fed to the device
• Gives you control over line colors and widths
• The ideal plotter output for viewing and archiving in EDM systems
• The ideal plotter output for emailing to a remote plotter
• If something to do with this software doesn't work for you, developers and marketing people want to know how and why

Try WinLINE

1. Download the evaluation driver for your version of Windows below and save it to your desktop or to a folder on your hard disk, such as c:\
   
2. When the download is completed, install a WinLINE driver for your output device by double-clicking on the executable file you downloaded.
3. Follow the prompts to select the manufacturer and model of your output device, and the port it is connected to on your computer.
4. If your output device is connected to a serial port such as COM1 or COM2 make sure your serial cable is suitable for use with Windows and that your system is configured to use a serial output device.
5. Load a new sheet of paper into your output device and make it ready for action.
6. In your Windows Printers Folder, right-click on the icon for your output device and select Printing Preferences. Configure the driver for the size of media you have loaded in the device.
7. Configure a program to print using the installed WinLINE printer driver. Make sure you configure the program to use the same size sheet as you have configured in the WinLINE driver for your output device.
8. WinLINE will generate sample output for your output device that prints to the edges of the sheet.
