Plotter plotting inaccurately

It might be beneficial to mention the plotter make/model.

 

When did the problem first occur?

 

Have you been able to sucessfully plot this drawing in the past without a problem?

 

What plot parameters are you using?

We have a problem at work. The plotter is plotting drawings out 1/8" to a 1/4" short of actual dimensions. Does anybody know what the problem is?:?

 

Did you calibrate the plotter to AutoCAD when you first set the plotter up?

The make/model is HPdesignjet500. This problem has always been a problem for pieces that are 36" and above that have to be plotted in portrait. We had the same problem plotting on other plotters. We are using a 36" wide roll for this plotter.

I'm not familiar with calibrating. Can you explain how to do so?
