    HP 650C problems

    Ive got a few problems here. First and biggest problem is we cant plot any aerials. when i send the aerial, it takes about 45 minutes and will then start plotting bits and pieces and then say out of memory. I dont think we are using a Heidi driver as i cant create or modify my paper sizes.

    Next problem, most drawings take between 5 and 10 minutes for the plotter to receive the drawing and start plotting. Is this normal?

    3rd problem, we plot a lot of drawings in .pdf and send them out to get plotted. I can open the .pdf and send it to our plotter and it plots fine. The document center we send it to has to use an E-size paper to plot a D-size drawing. Then they charge us for the E-size. I'm guessing this is a problem on their end and not ours? But is there anything i can tell them? I think they use a HP 1050 plotter unless they got a newer one.

    HP650c is your problem: a tired old plotter not capable of handling large
    plot files (Aerials).

    Call and talk to the document center about what the actual problem is, or
    find another location to do your plots if the issue is not resolved, maybe
    at least the second place can explain what the problem might be or just fix
    it.

    Tell your driver (it's in the settings) to spool in your computer instead of the plotter.
