Plot Issues with printing landscape

[VINCE67]

I have exactly the same problem, I have tried all the settings to rotate the A1 plot but it still leaves a blank on the paper. We have two plotters, the other is an old 1050C and this works fine when plotting the same drawing with same plot settings. So what is the problem, we have an IT department who installed the latest drivers and the HP company we bought the plotter from installed the software and set up the plotter.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?

Try using the 90-degree rotation.  That solved the problem for me. Thanks

Hi, so I am plotting from AutoCAD 2019, I have plotted the same A1 landscape drawing (841x594mm) several times, each time I change one of the parameters i.e. landscape/portrait rotate the plot 0° 90° 180° 270° i have plotter settings to also rotate the plot. Nothing seems to work and I still have a large strip of paper on the plot which has to be trimmed. I am sure there is something I am missing so if anyone (who has read this) has any ideas other than "rotate the plot 90°, it works for me" would be helpful,

thankyou, V

ok, so I have found a fix for myself, we have 2 plotters, the first is an old 1050C and the second is a new T930. On the 1050C we always used oversize paper sizes and it worked fine (rotating the plots automatically when we switched between A1 and A0 plots. We are using the same paper rolls in both plotters. On the new T930 plots (after reading the messages on various forums) it seems the new plotter is more sensitive to paper size and the oversize option was rotating the plots. When I changed the paper size to actual A1 it automatically rotates the plots as you would expect and doesn't waste any paper.
