8825/8830 Controller Setup Manual for Firmware 6.0 80
Setting The VCGL Emulation (continued)
Color =
Since the 8825/8830 printer is a black and white printer only, the
representation of color is by matching shades of gray to the 0 to 255 colors of
the VCGL file, or by representing colors with a black pattern if the color is
defined in the drawing file as a particular pattern in black. If the color to be
drawn is comprised of several patterns, representing a mix of the primary
colors, the printer will convert these mixed patterns to a representative
grayscale.
Setting <COLOR => to <FILE CONTROL>, which is the printer’s default
value, uses your CAD application to determine how colors will be represented
in your printed drawing.
Setting <COLOR => to <FORCE BLACK ON WHITE> overrides all
representations for colors in lines and fills with black only.
Device Resolution =
This setting establishes the default printer resolution for VCGL jobs. Choices
are 100, 200, 300, and 400 DPI. The factory default setting is 400 DPI.
