... 13 Jan 2012 15:22 from: John Walker I have occasional access to an HP Designjet 755cm plotter. I am using the HP driver from here on Windows XP 32 bit SP3: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=uk&prodNameId=12666&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25252&swLang=8 &taskId=135&swEnvOID=228 I installed HP DesignJet 755CM(C3198B)by HP. It is version 4.65. In Templot I set banner printing with 36in wide roll and height of 144in. When I print with 0.91c I get to choose which pages to print. However TDV 0.96a does not give me that choice (on a different PC but still XP 32 bit SP3). Am I misunderstanding something or is there a problem here? This behaviour was observed last time I was connected to the plotter. I am currently looking at the problem while disconnected posted: 13 Jan 2012 17:14 from: Martin Wynne John Walker wrote: In Templot I set banner ...
... topic: 1359 Background Picture Printing posted: 6 Feb 2011 17:33 from: John McCrea Hi Martin Just a quick question; more an observation really. As I've nearly completed my (Masokits based) turnouts for my new layout I decided to create a full size printout of the plan on banner paper. I've found a firm that will print my 156" x 36" plan full size at £16 for the first and £12 for subsequent pages so I proceeded to print to PDF from Templot v0.91c, initially using the Adobe PDF driver, then the free version of Win2PDF. The templates print fine in either program but the background scan will not print if 'Stretch' is selected. If I print using 'Dots' I get a PDF with the background showing but it is so large that neither Adobe Reader or the full version of Acrobat can fully open it. Details are as follows (questions borrowed from another thread): Which version of Windows are you using? XP, SP-3 How much memory do you have on your ...
... topic: 141 Add a .box file reference when printing posted: 25 Aug 2007 10:52 from: Peter Salathiel Hi Martin, I admit I am not a methodical worker but I just can't figure out the best way to keep my Templot .box files. My problem is that I "name" a printout, so that I know where it came from, but then forget to change it on the next printing. The only way that I can keep track of things is to move my "project name" AFTER the Templot time stamp. In other words all my Templot .box files are now identifed, and arranged in order chronoogically. A couple of questions: 1) What is the recommended method of keeping track of printouts and their associated .box files. I think I know the answer but it is all to easy to click "print" and finish up with the wrong name. 2) Any chance of making the default printout name the time stamp of the file? I admit that this problem occurs because I am using Templot ( ...
... topic: 224 Printing using an HP DJ 90r Printer with a roll feed option posted: 6 Nov 2007 23:56 from: Rextanka I hope this will be useful. This is the method I used to print out Fremington North on a HP DeskJet Printer with a roll feed option. This allows the print to be done on a single sheet if it's less than 18" wide and minimises the number of sheets needed. I hope this is useful to anyone with access to such a printer. My HP Printer is connected to an 802.1 (Ethernet) network via an HP JetDirect en3700 USB Network adapter. I made sure that I could print to this from my PC prior to starting this process. I also calibrated the printer with Templot and the roll paper installed in the printer, but with the paper size set to A4. Launch Templot version 0.91.b Load the box file you want to print If your drawing is not based at the origin and you want to minimise the number of passes needed to print then determine where the origin needs to ...
... topic: 1628 Canon PIXMA iP4300 Printer posted: 14 Sep 2011 01:52 from: Richard_Jones Hi Does anyone know if I can "fool" the printer to print out on a piece of "double length" A4- ie a piece of A3 cut down the centre of its long dimension, as this would probably be big enough for the largest of my single templates, without the expense of buying an A3 printer. Similarly is there anything I might need to "fiddle" in the Templot print settings? Any ideas (or different solutions?) best wishes Richard posted: 14 Sep 2011 06:49 from: Dave Summers Nothing needs to be fooled or fiddled. 'Tiling' of templates is taken care of automatically by Templot. A long template will be printed on two or more A4 sheets which will butt up perfectly to each other once the small margin is removed. Few of us have an A3 printer but all of us can print out our masterpieces on our A4 machines! posted: 14 Sep 2011 15:07 from: ...
... topic: 1443 Creating a wiring diagram- removing unwanted printed marks posted: 3 Apr 2011 22:16 from: Mark Leigh Hi All, Try as I might I don't seem to be able to remove the transition curve markings and tie bars on P&C when I print. Basically I just want the rails...now't else! Plus more annoyingly the centre lines which I had removed prior to relocating the whole templot to get the most out of my paper has appeared back on So are there any tips on how to achieve this quickly Thanks In Advance Mark Attachment: attach_1034_1443_eridge_mk2_wiring 3.box 193 posted: 3 Apr 2011 23:46 from: Chris Mitton Hi Mark What I think you need to do is basically generator -> generator settings and untick centre-lines repeat several times to untick pretty well everything else except rails then generator -> rebuild all background which should give you the plan you want. Select pad -> hide control template (unless you actually want it showing) Then select print -> printed element options and de-select ...
... change the timber specs for an entire pad at one time? At present I'm deleting each template to the control, fixing it, then storing it back. Not too bad for only three templates on the page, but it strikes me there has got to be a better way. At very least I would expect some way to set the "current defaults" on the control template, then apply those to each of the stored templates in turn. I haven't found a way to do this that works. I'm having a printing problem as well. I'm using a Xerox Document Centre 440PS at work at the moment. It's been calibrated. It prints properly, but print area seems to be running into the "no print margin" of the printer. That is, looking at a printed page oriented so margin writing is proper side up (i.e, paper is portrait), I see the bounding box along the top edge, but the printed coordinates are missing the top half. (I'm not worried about that one since the image box is ...
... topic: 3169 Printing background shapes/scanned images posted: 3 Jan 2018 01:26 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Happy New Year to you. I got a new scanner today in the sales- it isn't easy these days to buy just a flatbed scanner without it having a printer attached which are far too bulky. Scans of model track plans are fine. I have been having mixed results when adding these files as picture shapes and then trying to print them. The first one I tried just printed the picture shape as a filled black rectangle so I though that maybe the image was too big for the printer memory and I reduced the scan dpi. This worked OK and the picture shape printed containing the scanned data. However I have just scanned another plan and whilst the file size is similar( same DPI) it printed as a black rectangle. Sizing the background image down resulted in a proper print being produced. Is this all down to printer memory or associated issues? The PC has 32GB of memory of which about 26GB ...
29. Printing error
... topic: 1935 Printing error posted: 26 Apr 2012 09:49 from: mfsyoung Using iMac/Parallels/Cannon printer. Calibrated printer as normal and then went to print selection of three rows of A4 pages. Printer made three print jobs (one for each row). First job (row) printed ok then second and third came up with postscript errors. Tried again same errors. Only able to print in black and white. Workaround....exported whole layout to PDF in A4 pages and then selected pages in PDF to print using the iMac (not Parallels). No problems and even in colour! Conclusion....is it necessary to calibrate the printer and print normally or can all the layout be printed from PDF files without printer calibration? If this is so then I would always use PDF files in future. (also easier to check the results of one's labours!). posted: 26 Apr 2012 11:02 from: Martin Wynne mfsyoung wrote: Using iMac/Parallels/Cannon printer. Calibrated printer as normal ...
... topic: 1683 Problem with printing custom page size. posted: 10 Nov 2011 19:25 from: Tony W Hi Martin. I wonder if anyone else has come across this problem as it is a bit specialised. I have searched the forum without much success. I have an HP 1280 deskjet that allows the user to define custom paper sizes. I have cut some A1 paper lengthwise to produce what amounts to a double length A3 sheet. This is very useful for printing out longer sections of track. The paper size is defined as 300 x 840mm. Most of the time this works fine, the problem I have found seems to occur when a large area of the page to be printed contains no template. If the page starts with a template it will print this and then print a bit more of the page before producing an error message. If however the page starts printing from the blank edge then it will print about 300mm of the page and then produce an error message. See screen shot below. This is a problem I ...

Mark C posted: 13 Jul 2012 21:52 from: Martin Wynne Mark C wrote: Menu choice Output> Page Orientation/ Origin> End-Run (or Side-Run) seems to have no effect when Trackpad> Page Outlines for PDF Export is selected. Hi Mark, The orientation setting for PDF output is on the export dialog. This overrides the printer setting in the output menu: 2_131622_160000000.png The PDF and image file exports are new features in Templot2. Previously the output menu was called the print menu, and applied only to the printed output. It was renamed output for Templot2 but not all the settings in that menu can apply to all outputs. The big difference here is that the printer is a real-world physical device with a physical paper size and physical printable area. The PDF engine is not so constrained -- it can create a document of any size you care to enter. The task of rendering that on paper takes place in the PDF reader program and not in Templot. Accordingly not all ...
... topic: 604 A Printing Problem posted: 30 Oct 2008 15:52 from: polybear Hi Martin, I have a strange printing problem! I have two templates joined together- the first is a straight length of trackwork (about 55" long) with a straight RH turnout about half way along the straight; the second is a transition curve connected to turnout as a siding. I'm transferring the file as a PDF (using PDF995) to my works computer via CD, so I can print it on a Roller Plotter (I'm selecting a paper size of 36" by 60" since there doesn't appear to be an option for roller paper in PDF995, and anyway anything bigger would probably be unwieldy). In Templot the Print Preview option shows the entire track plan. However, after conversion to PDF (the track plan just about runs onto a second paper sheet) only a straight section of trackwork upto the turnout plus a small section of turnout is coming up when the PDF file is opened- the rest of sheet one appears blank ...
... topic: 370 Save settings for printing posted: 16 Mar 2008 00:29 from: Simon Dunkley I am generally happy with the default settings for printing out whole templates, but I also like to use templot for layout design purposes, and print out to a much reduced scale, typically 1:16 or 1:20, to get an overall idea of how the scheme will look. When I do this, I do not want or need track centre lines, or timbers which are both easy to switch off, but I like to do things such as show the grid as a dotted black line, have the transition curve markers in white, background shapes (in my case, putative baseboard outlines) in black and so on. Many of these require repeated trips to the pint menu. Would it be possble to save the printing settings, with an option to restore all settings, so that I can simply re-load a file without having to go through several mouse clicks eah time?

34. Banner printing
... topic: 2837 Banner printing posted: 29 Jan 2016 17:09 from: johnbirch72 I would like to print quite a large layout on a banner roll. I don't have a roll printer but my local Prontaprint shop does. They would like a PDF, so I set Templot to print all templates on banner roll and printed to a PDF. However the Prontaprint output was a set of separate A0 sheets.

35. Printing problem
... topic: 1195 Printing problem posted: 10 Aug 2010 12:57 from: Des Norman Hi all, Have run through tutorial, read notes on printing, created and saved printer config. file- but can't get printing to work properly. Have 1 turnout on the pad after a fresh start, covering 2 A4 sheets. When I select print/preview current pages, shows a1, a2. Click 'all remaining pages' only results in 1st page being printed then printer locks up still showing 2nd page outstanding. Selected saved config file when asked. Windows start/printers, double-click on printer shows document status as printing. Highlighting and selecting restart ineffective. If I start afresh and omit 1st page, click print all remaining pages, this one page still won't print. Feel as though I've hit a brick wall already. Any suggestions please? Regards, Des Windows XP SP3 Epson Stylus D88 inkjet printer- prints fine from any other software program. posted: 10 Aug 2010 13:58 from: Martin Wynne Hi Des, Welcome ...
36. Large layout
... topic: 1590 Large layout posted: 18 Aug 2011 22:07 from: s55evo Hi Everyone, I have been working on a large layout plan for some time, I can print it out in sections, but I would like to share it with the club and friends, it consists of 374 templates and the box file is just over 3mb, is it possible to compress this file or do I need to split it into smaller portions? Best regards, Tony. posted: 22 Aug 2011 20:27 from: s55evo Hi Everyone, I think i must have worded my question badly, or the answer was obvious. So I will try to attach the box file. Please feel free to criticise or question, if anyone feels like tidying things or shoving some timbers please carry on. Best regards, Tony.

... topic: 1542 Grid dimension lines on prints posted: 17 Jun 2011 16:45 from: Gordon S Sorry to trouble you again Martin, but I'm struggling to see the overall grid dimensions (say the 1'-18' board size of Eastwood). At the side of the print there are numbers in feet to show the grid size and very faint lines showing the vertical and horizontal grid on the printed page. As it stands I can barely see the grid. I've tried changing the grid colour and it shows up better on the screen, but doesn't change the line density on the print. Is there anyway I can change the grid line thickness and density so they will appear to be far more prominent on the printed page?

38. Printer problems
... topic: 1964 Printer problems posted: 21 May 2012 14:23 from: Brian_G Hi, I'm a new user of Templot and have been getting to grips with the layout commands over the last few weeks without any apparent problems, but now that I have tried to print something out for the first time I have hit a snag: my printer consistently hangs up just before ejecting the first page. This leaves the print job in the spooler queue, which will not clear with the usual 'cancel' command, only by running an NT command script in administrator mode to kill the spooler queue. I work in '0' gauge so I appreciate that the number of pages will be large, but I have tried even a basic single default turnout template, covering just two A4 pages, with exactly the same problem. My PC is running XP with Office 2010. The printer is an Epson DX4200 inkjet (incidentally for which it says there are no calibration files). Any ideas what to try next, change settings, etc., would be ...
... topic: 2639 Printing issues/templot not responding posted: 25 Feb 2015 11:36 from: Tony Vaughan Just started using Templot again now I have a space for a layout. Upgraded to 2.11.b a while back and now trying to use it. I have drawn the basics of a plan and now want to print it out to test it for fit "in the real world" but it does not print. I have printed test calibration pages without problem and the dimensions on these have calibrated ok. When I click the "print now!" button and select any one of the three options below, the "printing now" box appears. If i click "more info" or "do not show..." buttons i get a message in the menu bar bit at the top saying "not responding". I do get the page outlines on the trackplan as though it has selected what it is going to print. If I check the printers status it shows one job spooling but nothing is printed. Templot becomes ...
... topic: 1315 Printing from PDF.... posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:09 from: BruceNordstrand Howdy I "printed" my latest plan to PDF (via deskPDF) using A0 size paper and took it off to a printing house today. I have just looked at the resulting sheets and find that parts of the print are cut off. Now I assume that Templot& deskPDF would have printed to the PDF file the a plan that *should* have successfully printed exactly the same on paper but just wanted to check before I go yell at the printing house, $31.00 for 7 A0 sheets will get expensive if I have to keep trying.... Can anyone confirm that what is "printed" to a PDF should be what actually prints on paper?
