Product: HP T1600 DesignJet Plotter
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
We have Plotter Configuration Files set up linked to our standard sheet templates in AutoCAD. The sheet sizes vary from A4-A0 in landscape & portrait formats. Initially this worked fine, but this has just changed this week to defaulting to printing everything to A4. The sheets are clipped rather than scaled to size.
This is the first time that this has happened with plotter config files, and I'm at a loss as how to rectify it. I really don't want to create an individual plot config file for every paper size used as I know that its worked previously with one config per plotter with HP DesignJets since the 90's.
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
