Plotting of Montage at the size and scale I want

On UNIX how do I plot a Montage at the size/scale I want?

To make a for example 30"x30" layout/print, please do as follows:

1. Start EasyCopy, select File->Always Save Settings

2. Open Montage

3. Select your printer/plotter: File->Printers and press OK.

4. Select: File->Printer Setup->Paper. Choose: Page Size=Custom.

Select Units=Inches.

Type in 30 by 30 inches for Width and Height, and press OK. Set "Cut Media=After Page". Press OK.

5. Select File->Page Setup, and select Canvas Size=Set from Printer (Standard Format will be: Custom). Press OK

6. Create you montage.

7. Press File->Print. For the very first time, please check the Page Layout dialog that Metric Scale=1. If not, press the "Scale 1:1", and press Ok.

8. Next press Print. Your Montage will show up in the plotter as 30x30 inches (Metric scaled 1:1).

The next time you use EasyCopy the Metric Scale will be set to 1:1.

If you don't want to define a custom page size for your Montage, you can also select a (printer) Page Size like 36" by 100", and just define your Montage size in the File->Page Setup dialog as you want.

At the printing time, you then need to use the Page Layout dialog (Print dialog)- (X Origin & Y Origin) to position the canvas/montage at the Top/Left position on the paper.

Besides that you might want to select the Printer Setup->Cut Media=After Image to save paper.
