This manual explains the installation and operation of RW-480
PLOTCLIENTs as well as two networks. You find out how you
can use the RW-480 PLOTCLIENTs or network protocols to pro-
duce print jobs, set print parameters and to send the print jobs
to the RW-480 PLOTBASE server program. The following RW-
480 PLOTCLIENTs and protocols are described:
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WIN
• RW-480 WINPRINT
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT HDI/ADI
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WEB
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT MAC
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT LPR
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT FTP
The following gives a brief explanation of al RW-480 PLOTCLI-
ENTs. The precise functional descriptions are given in the re-
spective chapters:
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WIN
RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WIN is available for Microsoft Windows
NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP and
Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME and is a program for preparing
plot jobs, which it then sends to RW-480 PLOTBASE. This is
done by collating set-based jobs.
• RW-480 WINPRINT
The Windows printer driver RW-480 WINPRINT allows print jobs
from Windows applications, to then pass them directly to RW-
480 PLOTBASE as a job.
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT HDI/ADI
With RW-480 PLOTCLIENT HDI/ADI you produce HPGL/2-files
from the drawings and documents, which have been produced
in the AutoCAD programs AutoCAD R13, AutoCAD R14, Auto-
CAD 2000, AutoCAD 2000i, AutoCAD LT 2000, AutoCAD Lti
2000, AutoCAD 2002, AutoCAD LT 2002, AutoCAD 2004,
AutoCAD LT 2004, AutoCAD 2005, AutoCAD LT 2005 or
AutoCAD 2006. The print jobs can be sent to the RW-480

RW-480 CLIENTS
PLOTCLIENT WIN program or directly to the RW-480 PLOTBASE
server program.
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WEB
The RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WEB enables you to send print jobs
to RW-480 PLOTBASE both via the Intranet as well as via the
Internet. You can stipulate numerous print parameters. Success-
ful processing of the print processes in RW-480 PLOTBASE can
be controlled via a status message. Equally, you can also have
an e-mail sent to obtain a message on successful job comple-
tion.
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT MAC
With the printer driver RW-480 PLOTCLIENT MAC, you can
send print jobs to RW-480 PLOTBASE from applications, which
run on the Macintosh operating system Mac OS 10.3.
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT LPR
With the lpr command, you can send print jobs to RW-480
PLOTBASE via RW-480 WINPRINT, without having to use an
application program. This printing facility is particularly meant
for UNIX users.
• RW-480 PLOTCLIENT FTP
With the ftp command you can send print jobs to RW-480
PLOTBASE without having to use an application program. This
printing facility is particularly meant for UNIX users.
We wish you every success in your work with RW-480 CLIENTs.

Manual conventions
In the text, you can come across two possible terms, which are
intended to point out special circumstances or advantages or
even to warn you against certain work steps:
Note: You are free to decide whether you wish to fol-
low the recommendation given in a note or not. Notes
are usually used to draw your attention to special cir-
cumstances or even to point out useful commands or
ones that are easily forgotten and overseen.
Attention: It is advisable to take particular notice of
any possible problems marked with "Attention" to e.g.
avoid problems with your data stocks, etc
