multi roll plotters

[nmiltner]

We have a multi plotter with two rolls, one mylar, and one paper. How do I set up the plotter in NX3 to be able to select either roll?

Can you define it as the same printer twice set one definition to the paper roll and the other to the mylar. I don't know if that will necessarily work but it might be a chance.

Good idea that two roll system though. We used to have to change the rolls and re-calibrate a mylar plot every time. It was a great waste of media ans as you probably know Mylar isn't cheap!

Cheers

there are some extended parameters for roll/tray selection:
on similar hpgl driver:
PARA HPGL INTRAY = ROLL1 <-- to specify Media Source Roll 1
^PARA HPGL INTRAY = ROLL2 <-- to specify Media Source Roll 2
on Rtl drivers :
+MS1 <-- to specify Media Source Roll 1
+MS2 <-- to specify Media Source Roll 2
control in
In the Printer Setup form, select "Advanced Options"
... setup 0ne plotter/printer for each roll...
