I'm sending jobs from CorelDraw (10) to a Camm1 (PNC 1100). How would I go about paneling a job? Do I need to split up the job in Corel and send it one at a time or is there a way to set up the program to do it automatically?

the printer driver will know the max size of the printable area for the particular printer. the printer dialog will tell you that the image does not fit within the printable area. click on the layout tab in the print dialog and check "print tiled pages". you can then adjust were the image is across the tiles.

Normally I like the seam to be in a certain place. (less cuts across the image) If I'm cutting the image I'll use the knife tool in corel to draw a line across the image where I want to separate the piece.

If I'm printing, usually it's a box layed over part of the image, and then the image is powerclipped inside the box. After printing that image, go back to powerclip, extract contents, leave the edge you want to start at alone and grab the other edge of the box and drag it over the previous printed edge till it's where you want it and powerclip the remaining image into the box again and print. This lets me put the seam where I want it, and usually allows a way to hide the seam and to save materials.

Terry...By tiling, do you mean going longer than 62.99" or cutting letters that are taller than 18.99"?

I do something similar to Tony's method.

I draw rectangles around the artwork and position them so the seam will overlap say 1/8" or 1/4".

Then you can select the artwork and the rectangle over the area you want to plot, and in the print screen in Corel you can choose to only print the selected items.

dave the pnc-1100 dont have the 62.99 length limit like the pnc-1000 had. and he sayinf tileing is when it is taller then 24" then pnc-1100 will do up to 23".
terry i usually will break the object in corel, make 2 distinct pieces. you can also just let it cut the object till it hits the edge, for the next cut move the object part that wasnt cut onto the page and it will cut that piece.
