English term or phrase: plotter
Definition from bluedogink.com:
A device that draws pictures on paper based on commands from a computer. Plotters differ from printers in that they draw lines using a pen. As a result, they can produce continuous lines, whereas printers can only simulate lines by printing a closely spaced series of dots. Multicolor plotters use different-colored pens to draw different colors.

Example sentence(s):
  • Once the schematics for the image are complete, the computer downloads the coordinates to the plotter, which interprets the code and calculates the most efficient path for the pen and paper. eHow, Inc.
  • Pen plotters work by moving a pen across the surface of a piece of paper, meaning that plotters are confined to line art, and are incapable of producing rasterized graphics like other printers. It is possible to draw complex line art designs and text, but pen plotters are considerably slower, owing to the pen’s mechanical movements. richcolorprinters.com
  • Plotters are used primarily in technical drawing and CAD applications, where they have the advantage of working on very large paper sizes while maintaining high resolution. reference.com

绘图仪
Definition:
能按照人们要求自动绘制图形的设备。它可将计算机的输出信息以图形的形式输出。主要可绘制各种管理图表和统计图、大地测量图、建筑设计图、电路布线图、各种机械图与计算机辅助设计图等。最常用的是X-Y绘图仪。现代的绘图仪已具有智能化的功能，它自身带有微处理器，可以使用绘图命令，具有直线和字符演算处理以及自检测等功能。这种绘图仪一般还可选配多种与计算机连接的标准接口。

Example sentence(s):
  • 绘图仪也是比较常用的一种图形输出设备，它可以在纸上或其他材料上画出图形。绘图仪上一般装有一支或几支不同颜色的绘图笔，这些绘图笔可以在相对于纸的水平和垂直方向上移动，而且根据需要抬起或者降低，从而在纸使画出图形。 　　用绘图仪画图与我们用手画图是有所不同的。我们在画图时，画直线时用直尺，画圆或圆弧时会用圆规，而绘图仪的绘图笔是由电机的带动在水平和垂直方向上移动的，由于任何图形都可以用曲线和直线段组成，而且即使曲线也可以用直线段来逼近，因此，绘图仪画出的图形正是由这些水平的、垂直的或45度倾斜的线段组成的，只要我们仔细地看，就可以发现是一些锯齿状的折线。当然，如果线段足够短的时候，这种锯齿就不太明显了。 - 王朝知道  
  • 绘图仪一般是由驱动电机、插补器、控制电路、绘图台、笔架、机械传动等部分组成。绘图仪除了必要的硬设备之外，还必须配备丰富的绘图软件。只有软件与硬件结合起来，才能实现自动绘图。软件包括基本软件和应用软件两种。绘图仪的种类很多，按结构和工作原理可以分为滚筒式和平台式两大类：①滚筒式绘图仪。当X向步进电机通过传动机构驱动滚筒转动时，链轮就带动图纸移动，从而实现X方向运动。Y方向的运动，是由Y向步进电机驱动笔架来实现的。这种绘图仪结构紧凑，绘图幅面大。但它需要使用两侧有链孔的专用绘图纸。②平台式绘图仪。绘图平台上装有横梁，笔架装在横梁上，绘图纸固定在平台上。X向步进电机驱动横梁连同笔架，作X方向运动；Y向步进电机驱动笔架沿着横梁导轨，作Y方向运动。图纸在平台上的固定方法有3种，即真空吸附、静电吸附和磁条压紧。平台式绘图仪绘图精度高，对绘图纸无特殊要求，应用比较广泛。 - 互动百科  
  • 1) 在低端绘图仪上，无法自动做打印头清洗及恢复，所以可以将打印头取出，用纸包裹后用力甩动，通过这种强制出墨的办法来疏通被堵塞的打印头喷嘴。 (2) 在高端绘图仪上，通过前面板菜单，可以进行打印头清洗及恢复的操作，具体方法请参考各机型技术资料。 - 惠普
