did you already play with SVG lib examples?

[https://processing.org/reference/libraries/svg/index.html](https://processing.org/reference/libraries/svg/index.html)

also be aware that this only reflects a subset of SVG  
but a good starting point to learn Processing JAVA

Hi @christiank79  
Welcome to the forum.  
Is it a self designed pen plotter?  
If not, do you have an access code for the driver?

Thank you for welcome.  
It’s not a self-made printer, butI bought it at a low price online and mounted it myself. The printer must arrived these days.
