Using the Print Manager
In a Windows environment, Creo Elements/Direct Drafting spools all plots and screen dumps either to the Print Manager or to the Clipboard, and not directly to an output device.
The Print Manager controls device selection, configuration, and spooling for the printers and plotters on your system. Once you send a plot from Creo Elements/Direct Drafting to the Print Manager, the Print Manager takes over the process of producing the final output. By setting REQUEST_PRINT_SETUP, you can directly access the Print Manager's setup dialogs each time you plot or screen dump.
The Clipboard temporarily stores a plot or screen dump so that it can be electronically transferred or "pasted" into another application.

Depending on the output device(s) on your system, the Print Manager may allow you to set several printer/plotter options in addition to those offered by Creo Elements/Direct Drafting. Refer to your Windows documentation and hardware manuals for information on configuring your printer/plotter to work with Windows.
