The DVS System Software GmbH & Co.KG has a plotter driver for Windows 7 (32 – and 64-bit) developed with pie and route optimisation for faster plotting. Character or tool plotter are only a peripheral region in the IT hardware landscape. Earlier, architectural drawings or designs in mechanical engineering through so-called pen plotters were created often. Meanwhile, ink jet plotter have undertaken this task. These are controlled via a printer driver such as regular laser or inkjet printer. Because the pen plotter almost from the market are gone, no more drivers are available for newer operating systems. Even the standard supplied earlier in the Microsoft Windows plotter drivers have disappeared since Windows Vista.

Therefore, many still working pen plotters out of operation must be observed, although in some areas it is still useful to use them. The tool plotters are another niche. They work instead of the pins with tools that can cut a variety of materials for example or edit in any other form. These Tool plotter are replaceable by other technologies, especially in times of declining numbers and required flexibility small series even custom-made products that are possible. Continue to use such devices, it is dependent, that the manufacturer will offer updated drivers. Unfortunately this is just on older devices very difficult.

Therefore, the DVS System Software GmbH & Co.KG has a plotter driver for Windows 7 (32 – and 64Bit)entwickelt. The driver also has a circle and route optimisation for faster plotting. The driver via a settings file can be adjusted, this is suitable for pencil or tool plotters of different brands. Even larger sizes can be operated with a maximum plot area of 327 x 327. So far were successfully controlled plotter of the following manufacturers: Aristo, Benson, CalComp, data technology (Gerber innovations), Elcede, ENCAD Nova Jet, Graphtec, HP, Kongsberg, Krause, LKS, Marbach, MIMAKI, Misomex, MultiCam,. Mutoh, OCe, Roland, wild and ignition. More information under:! Renate Saed
