## How to Create and Define Plot Attributes

| Plot attributes define the following characteristics of an output device:
| Paper: plot media, e.g. paper or transparency film DIN-Format, e.g. A5 or A4 Folding modes: defines the folding modes if the plot device supports folding and if the folding function is enabled Scale modes: defines the scale mode for plot output Plotter setup: plot server system configuration parameters Banners: enables the banner plot function Start time modes: optional start time parameter for plot job
| These attributes must be defined prior to the definition of a new output device or plotter default values and before the plot job is executed! The definition and configuration of individual attributes must be executed in the corresponding masks:
| Select System > Plot management > Plotter attributes > ... (e.g. Media types, Paper size, etc.). The corresponding mask is opened.
| Attributes are used in the fields of the Definition of plotter defaults mask. To open this mask, select System > Plot management > Plotter defaults. The function of individual fields is described in Define plotter default values.
