WinLINE Features
WinLINE extracts performance from your HPGL, HP-GL/2, HPRTL, PCL3GUI and PCL5 vector/raster devices in the Windows environment.

High Performance

• The fastest way to generate the 1st copy of multiple copy print job in high volume plotting environments
• Fast plot generation returns CPU to the application quicker
• Compact data size allows fast transmission of data to the device
• HPGL output is up to 75% smaller than output generated by Microsoft's HPGL driver
• HP-GL/2 output is up to 60% smaller than output generated by HP's RTL driver
• HP-GL/2 output is up to one tenth the size of output generated by Microsoft's NT 4.0 driver
• Efficient instructions minimise rendering time on the device
• Supports all HP DesignJet models, including the models that only work with PCL3GUI and PCL5 language (DesignJet 30,70,90,100,110 plus, 120, 130, 500)
• Supports long page sizes on DesignJet and Vinyl Cutters (up to 200m o3 660 feet)
• Supports vertical tiling on DesignJet and Vinyl Cutters (in Tiling Mode, WinLINE places successive pages next to each other. On roll fed media, this results in continuous output from Corel Draw even though Corel does not normally support very large page sizes)
• Gives you control over the way your drawing is positioned on the sheet and the sheet is fed to tthe device
• Works with HP DeskJet printers so your check plots can be consistent with your final output
• The ideal plotter output for viewing and archiving in EDM systems
• The ideal plotter output for emailing to a remote plotter
• The ideal plotter output for PDF files
  It depends on how the PDF file is created and what sort of output device they are using
  .
  For Pen plotters:
  WinLINE works with PDF files if they are created as vector graphics e.g. from a CAD program.
  WinLINE does not work if the PDF file is created as raster graphics.
  
  For Raster plotters:
  WinLINE works with PDF files.
  

High Resolution

• Up to 1270 dpi for pen plotters, vinyl cutters and engravers
• Resolution is matched to the device for raster plotters

Complete Resource Management For Pen Plotter Devices

• Pen control settings for speed, width, color and force
• Carousel library for storing pen set definitions
• Color Association controls for assigning colors and minimum line widths to pens
• ISO, DIN, ANSI, Arch, Oversized and User Defined paper size support
• Normal, Expand and Full Size (Hardclip extents) plotting areas
• Full color pen sort

CAD Style Interface For Raster Plotters

• Color Association controls for assigning minimum line widths to specific colors and for changing colors
• AutoColor mode to enable the plotter to render colors as requested by programs
• Density control to vary the intensity of individual colors (screening)
• Black and white modes (B&W or Black-Grey-White)

Advanced Rendering

• Polygon fills are calibrated for the width of the selected pen, minimising pen movement and inkusage
• Arcs are rendered at the mechanical resolution of the device
• Wide lines are traversed lengthwise when requested by the application

Connectivity

• Prints from any local or network port
• Enables XON/XOFF serial communications for serial printers

OLE Compatibility

• Prints linked and embedded files (OLE) e.g. Excel spreadsheets within AutoCAD drawings

WYSIWYG TrueType Font Support

• Renders any Windows TrueType font on all supported devices
• Selection of outlines, fills, both or either

Output Customisation

• Insert user-defined control codes, macros or customised language at the start and end of each document, and the start and end of each page
