Toggle Plot upside down from VBA

[Anonymous]

I have a batch plotter for Acad 2000 that works with a number of output devices. When I plot to a hp Mopier printer as the selected device, the Rotation upside down toggle gets set to active. After serching through the Acadlayout and AcadPlotConfiguration object model, I see no way to turn it off or test for it.

This only seems to happen on the 11x17 printer. Everything works fine for DJ750 and OCE 9600 plotters.

Please help, I'm onsite today and won't be back for 3 weeks. This is holding up the implementation of over 80 seats of AutoCad.

Thanks,

Hello is anybody there ? I'm guessing that the combination of landscape/Portrait and toggle upside down is the same as setting the rotation to 0,90,180,270. Am I right ? If so this has no affect on what side the binding edge is placed. Even though the binding edge(margin of 3/4" for staples) shows on the left side in print preview, if I set rotation to 90 or 270, the binding edge is on the right. I have confirmed the binding edge is correct in the custom paper size. What gives ?

Thanks,

Robert,

Before I begin, let me say thank you for responding ! I have upgraded the drivers from Autodesk. There was a plotting patch for Acad 2k that included support for cal comp as well as other plotters. After checking with HP there is no additional drivers for Acad2k. The ones we are using are current and most up to date.

I think I've covered all the basic options, but any ideas would be helpful.
