HOW TO
All ArcPress printer drivers have a hard coded maximum printable area. For example, the ArcPress RTL drivers have a maximum printable width of 34.5 inches.You must increase these limits to print larger than the hard coded limit when printing on larger printers using ArcPress.
Note:
ArcPress for ArcGIS ArcMap 9.0 and higher no longer has a hard-coded page size.
1. Browse to your $ARCHOME\etc directory and open device1.dat in a text editor.
On Windows, $ARCHOME is <install_drive>:\arcgis\arcexe81, <install_drive>:\arcgis\ or c:\Program Files\ArcGIS\
The first line of device1.dat should look similar to:
Code:
RTL_RGB, unirtlrgb, 10350, -1, 300, 300, HP RTL - RGB (Device Dithered)
2. View the chart below. Select the appropriate values for the paper size to support and edit in those values in the device1.dat file.
PCL Tabloid/B = 3090, 4800
RTL 42" wide printer = 12150, -1
RTL 50" wide printer = 14550, -1
RTL 60" wide printer = 17550, -1
Note:
The ArcPress Canon and Epson drivers are already hardcoded to 11" x 17".
3. Save and close the device1.dat file. These changes will be applied the next time ArcPress is used.
