HPGL: set plot origin

[Steve Cappella]

Hi everyone
I have a problem. I have to set the plot origin to the center of the
drowing in the A4 printers, like the standard setting of much plotters
Someone have any idea what HPGL commands are needed to do this?
Thank you in advance
Steve

I don't think you can do this directly. If you have a plotter, you
could place the pen at the centre before starting the plot, and then use
PR (Plot Relative). I don't know how you could do this with a printer.

On second thoughts...Under PA (Plot Absolute) navigate to the page
centre, then switch to PR.
