The correct option is D Film card
A flat-bed plotter uses a
pen which moves in two directions across a piece of paper fixed on a flat-bed.
Film card controls the movements of this pen.
A plotter can be used to
produce very large drawings on paper sizes up to A0 (16 times as big as A4). A
plotter draws onto the paper using very fine pens. There are two types of
plotter. They differ in the way that the pen can be moved about on the piece of
paper to draw lines.
The paper is fixed and the
pen moves left and right and up and down across the paper to draw lines.
The pen moves up and down
on the paper and the paper is moved left and right by rotating a drum on which
the paper is placed.
Plotters can automatically
change their pens and so can produce colour output. The lines drawn by a
plotter are continuous and very accurate. Plotters are very slow but produce
high quality output. They are usually used for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) applications such as printing out plans for
houses or car parts. The quality of the output produced by ink jet printers is
now very good and large format (big) ink-jet printers are steadily replacing
plotters for most tasks.
