Appendix A: Add a Printer / Plotter

The following are step by step instructions on how to configure AutoCAD for your printer or plotter. These instructions assume you are a single system user. If you are networked or need more detailed information, please refer to your AutoCAD users guide.

Note	You can configure AutoCAD for multiple printers. I suggest that you configure the plotter shown below to match the exercises in this workbook.

Select File / Plotter Manager
Select "Add-a-Plotter" Wizard
Select the "Next" button.
Select " My Computer" then Next.
Select the Manufacturer and the specific Model desired then N ext.

(If you have a disk with the specific driver information, put the disk in the disk drive and select "Have disk" button then follow instructions.)
Select the "Next" box.
Select "Plot to a port" and "LPT1" unless your printer is attached to a Com port. Then select "Next".
The Printer name, that you previously selected, should appear. Then select "Next"
Select the "Edit Plotter Configuration " box.
Select:
1. Device and Document Settings tab.
2. Media: Source and Size
3. Size: Ansi B (11 X 17 inches)
4. OK box.
Select "Finish".
Now check the File / Plotter Manager. Is your printer / plotter there?
