SUMMARY
Hewlett-Packard (HP) has a line of electrostatic plotters designated series 7600. These are high-speed, high-volume printers that use laser-like technology to print full-size drawings in less than one minute. These drawings are at a 406 dpi resolution with 64 shades of gray. When printing in full-color, it takes less than eight minutes for a full-size drawing. These times do not include transmission time.

MORE INFORMATION
These plotters have three built-in interfaces. They are the RS-232 serial, IEEE 488-1978 parallel, and Centronics parallel. They use the HP-GL/2 command language and will emulate HP-7586B plotters when used with most DOS applications or Microsoft Windows. They are designed primarily for use with graphics workstations. The internal rasterizer uses a 32-bit Motorola 68020 and a 40-megabyte hard disk.

There are three models available at this time:

 Model 250      B/W     24-inch wide plots  Model 255      B/W     36-inch wide plots  Model 355      Clr     36-inch wide plots 

As with all HP printers or plotters, use an HP cable to ensure that the printer will function properly.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
