Hi, I'm new to AutoCAD LT 2011. I'm trying to plot a drawing on D size and it always comes out small when plotted on the HP DesignJet 750's series plotter. Can someone help?

Here's what I did:

1) I opened up a .dxf file

2) I clicked on "Layout1" to view the image.

3) Clicked on "Print". clicked on "Plot". I chose the HP DesignJet plotter I have.

4) I chose the large D size, 34" by 26"

5) I chose "Layout".

6) Scale is 1:1

7) when I click on "Preview", the image is always showing on the lower left corner

8) then, when I plot the drawing out, it's always small

Any suggestions how to fix this? thanks.
