===================================
 CALS RASTER ADI 4.3 PRINTER DRIVER 
===================================

Installation:

1. Copy the PLCALS.DLL into the "\Program Files\AutoCAD R14\DRV" directory.

2. Go to AutoCAD Preferences, Plotter, and add the plotter called:
   "CALS (Type 1) Raster ADI 4.3 - by Autodesk, Inc"

--------------------------
 FEATURES:
--------------------------

1.  Supports Binary, Grayscale and color raster images.   (Color images
    will be converted to Grayscale on output)

2.  Has an "Invisible Pen" option, so you can assign any color to appear as
    "WHITE" output.  Simply assign the color you want invisible to pen 255.
    EXAMPLE:  If you do not want Markup information to appear on the plot,
    you can assign the Markup color to pen 255.

3.  Can be used to convert your AutoCAD drawing into a raster image.  

4.  Can optionally trim plot size to extents (if smaller than media size).

--------------------------
 NOTES:
--------------------------

* Many plotters accept the CALS language directly.   For instance, after
  a plot file has been generated with this driver, a DOS command can be
  issued to copy it to the plotter.  Example: "COPY TEST.PLT LPT1 /B"

  Partial list of plotters which support "CALS Type 1 with CCITT Group 4
  compression":

     CALCOMP plotters including:
       SOLUS 4 - (Set CALS DPI to 400 for correct scale)
       Drawing Master 600/800
       Techjet Designer 720 - (Must have latest Firmware updates)
       Techjet GT
     OCE plotters:
       All models
     JDL plotters:
       All models - (May require firmware/bios update)
     ENCAD plotters:
       Most models
     XEROX
       8830 & 8855
     HP
       NONE support CALS     

* CALS output is much faster than other raster formats such as HP-RTL
  and CCRF.

* CALS does not support any color output.

* AutoCAD pens are only mappable to Black (default) or White (optional).
  It will not dither or Halftone colored pen settings, however it will carry
  pen weights if specified.

* If you assign a color to a binary (1-bit) image, the image will always plot
  solid black.

* The driver does not support TrueType fonts.

* The driver does not support plotting of OLE embedded objects such as 
  an EXCEL spreadsheet or WORD document.
