Printing on roll of paper

[franksautocad]

Hi,

 

We need to print a drawing on an A2 paper roll but the drawing is cut off at the length of an A1 or A2 page. How do you set it up so the full length of the roll can be used?

 

At the moment the roll cuts off at 841mm in length when set to A1. How do you configure it to use more length of the roll so it doesn't cut off the drawing?

I think you will have to create a custom sheet size.

The plotter we have can't do that when printing A2.

The plotter we have can't do that when printing A2.

 

What printer you using ?

 

when you plot to your printer Autocad tells it when to cut off, thats why JD said to create a custom sheet size

 

You adjust the paper length in the custom sheet size, it can be made to print the whole roll if you want ?

No, I meant I can't get it to print A2 size (or the whole role if needed), I can't get it to cut A2 size though.

A2 = 420 x 594 mm or 16.5 x 23.4

 

I assume that your A2 paper roll is 595mm wide yes ? then you need to set up a custom sheet size to cut off at 420mm instead of 841mm

We print A2 plots using an A3 roll.

No, the roll is 841mm wide.
