Yes, I get that too. Sounds far too large. Maybe
that's the limits
of the internal control electronics (that is, the plotter will accept
vaules that large without giving an error), even though they are
phyiscially ridiculous.
Don't forget continuous roll plotters can plot images that are only
physically limited by the media length, (I can't remember if the
True, but this limit is for both axes, and the thing is not nearly 700
feet wide :-). Maybe you can flip the coordinates round, or maybe it was
simpler to have the same limits for both axes.
One thing I've only just noticed. The limit is (of course) 2^23-1. At
least it's not a totally random number.
