Note: [1] If your plotter manufacturer’s instructions suggest other
actions to the above general procedure, follow those instructions
first. Some plotters do not support the
Plot directly to port
option available in the Isis Plotter Setup dialog box. If that is the
case for your plotter, disable the
Plot directly to port option in
File→Print→Plotter Setup by clearing the check mark next to
the option.
[2] If you enable the Use WinRT device, different sessions of
Isis can each plot to their own plotter.
5.4 Activating Some Printer Drivers for Isis
Some printers, though they are recognized Windows, need additional
preparation before you can use them with Isis. In particular, the
Apply
button found in the Properties dialog box of Windows printers may need
to be enabled before you can print in Isis.
To enable a printer’s or plotter’s Apply button in Windows, do the
following:
1. From
Start in Windows, choose Settings→Printers.
2. From the list of available printers/plotters, select the device you
intend to use with Isis.
If the device is not in the list, choose
Add Printer and follow the
Windows menus to add the printer. Reboot your system after
adding a device to the list.
3. From the Settings→Printers menu selections, right-click the
selected printer name and choose
Properties.
The system displays a dialog box with several tabs in it.
4. Choose the General tab and inspect the settings shown there to
make sure the
Apply button is not grayed out. If it is grayed out,
then you need to indicate a change, however trivial, in your
dialog box so that the Apply button is enabled. The simplest and
most harmless change you can do to enable that
Apply button is
to just press SPACEBAR while your cursor is in the
Comment
text box found on the
General tab; then click OK to save your
“change” and exit the Properties dialog box. This kind of
“change” is necessary because some printer drivers require that
