It's best to start with a document that's 800 pixels tall by 3200 pixels wide -- you can use the Eggbot Template from the set of example files as a good starting point.  Eggbot draws paths -- continuous lines -- not bitmap images, and not solid filled regions.    Certain object types are automatically treated as paths, for example circles and rectangles.  Other types of objects that are made of lines -- like outlined text -- may need to be converted to paths (Path menu > Object to path) before plotting.  A good first plot might be the "Hello world" example file.
