Civil3D 2012 scaling error when plotting profiles

When plotting profile plan sheets, there is an error in the scaling of the grids.  I can not seem to figure out why the plotter is not plotting correctly.  I did try creating a pdf of the plan sheet and plotting, but still have the same scale error.  It starts to get off scale after about 500 feet, so the error in scale is small, but still there.  It is off by about 2 or 3 feet at 500 feet on the profile grid. Any help would be appreciated

Need more information about what is going on.  Did you create a new template for plan/profile sheets or are you using an OOTB one?  Are you saying that the whole sheet is out of scale or just the profile viewport?

someone helped fix the problem.  It was fixed using the plotter calibration option.  This is located by going to plot, and then properties of plotter, where there is a plotter calibration option.

Excellent! Thanks! I was able to correct the plot scale on our Oce Plotter.
