Need help with 7475a plotter/vinyl cutter paper size

[hempuli]

I converted my 7475a pen plotter successfully into vinyl cutter. There are a few bumps here and there, but it mainly works good. My question to anyone who could know a solution to this:

1. Can I change the maximum paper size (A3/B or 11 inch x 17 inch) so that I can load paper/vinyl that is longer than 17 inches?
2. If yes, how do I go about it?

Thank you guys.

I write own their plotter drivers for HPGL and they are excellent.
Very good tech support and they would know if you could use their drivers to extend the sheet size.

They are distributed by a company in Arizona and would likey answer your questions by phone.

What did you use for a blade holder?

What kind of bumps did you have along the way. I am trying to do the same thing and I want to know ahead of time. Thanks!

Comprehensive documentation for HP instruments is available on line.

Quite a listing, but the 7475 is in there. look for the pen plotter section There should be two documents at least.
