1IntroductionThank you for purchasing the Gerber enVision plotter. The enVision is a stateof-the-art plotter designed for use with the GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE andother sign design systems using the HPGL command set.The plotter is available in two models the enVision 750, which is 30" (762mm) wide for cutting large format jobs, and the enVision 375, which is 15" (381mm) wide for cutting GERBER EDGE printed jobs.Both enVision plotters deliver outstanding material handling performance for all15-inch (381 mm) and 30-inch (762 mm) wide format punched vinyl filmssupplied by Gerber. They achieve speeds and accelerations equal to frictionplotters while maintaining the dead-on accuracy of sprocket plotters. They offerdependability, ease of use, minimal maintenance requirements, and setupflexibility.In this manualNote: The information in this manual applies to both enVision plotter models.Differences between the plotters are noted in the descriptions and procedures asrequired.This manual contains the following sections:Introduction presents basic information about this manual.Getting Started tells you how to connect the enVision, use the control paneland menus, load material, and install tools.enVision Overview describes the plotter features, the plotting process,introduces the concepts of tool settings, discusses using the enVision with theGRAPHIX ADVANTAGE (GA ) Plot32 program, and presents the differenceswhen cutting GERBER EDGE (EDGE ) jobs.Plotting Jobs presents the procedures for using the enVision keypad for plottingsingle and multiple jobs.Choosing Tool Settings shows how to use either the plotter or the GA to choosetool settings to maximize cutting your jobs.

One set of three disksis service pack 3, which is used to update GA version 6.2 so that you can add theenVision plotter and allow it to be fully supported and controlled by GA. Thesingle disk is a driver disk which allows you to add the enVision to your list ofavailable plotters if your GA is version 6.0 or earlier. The following loadingrules apply:If you have GAversionthen loadand the result is6.21nothingthe GA plot programsupports and controlsthe plotter6.2the service pack disks(GA 6.2 service pack 3)the GA plot programsupports and controlsthe plotter6.0 or earlierthe driver diskyou can add theenVision to the list ofavailable plottersLoading the disks is the same for either the service pack disks or the patch disk:1.Close all GA programs. It is also a good idea to close any Windows programs that are running.2.Put disk 1 of the service pack or the driver disk in the 3.5-inch drive(usually the a: drive).3.In Windows 95, click on Start, Run, type a:\setup, then click on OK. InWindows 3.x, click on Run in the Program Manager File menu, typea:\setup, then press Enter.4.Follow the onscreen prompts while the setup program loads the files.Adding the enVision to GAAfter you load the disks, the next step is to add the enVision to the list ofavailable plotters in the plot program. This addition is performed in the GSPSetup program.1.Open the GSP Setup program.2.Click on Setup, then click on Plotter/Router. The Add or DeletePlotter/Router(s) dialog box appears.
Getting Started73.From the Devices box, click on enVision 750 or 375 to highlight it.
