From: maryland!allegra!seismo!cvl!dno@uw-beaver.arpa (David Oskard) I can't seem to get the Imagen SET_MAGNIFICATION Impress command to work at all on the 8/300 printer. Has anyone succeeded? Specifically, I'm using the BITMAP facility to download pictures into the Imagen and it doesn't seem to like them above a certain magic size. I tried just drawing a vector to see if it was just the bitmap that wasn't getting magnified, but no luck there either. My next move (if I can't find a better solution) will have to be reworking the algorithm as a series of SET_PATH and DRAW_PATH commands, implementing my own magnification scheme as well, but this will be a real pain in the <insert-favorite-body-part>!

From: decvax!seismo!rochester!ritcv!husky!wcs@uw-beaver.arpa (Bill Schott) The SET MAGNIFICATION command will only work if you have version 2.1 software. Any of the early versions do have the capabilty to execute this command.

From: cornell!cord!mhd@uw-beaver.arpa (Michael Duran) We are running 8/300 version 2.1 software and still can't get it to work. Other things have been fixed in 2.1 but this doesn't seem to have been one of them.
