9.2 Plotting multiple copies
The
Copies to Plot
option on the Plot tab allows you to plot the same document
multiple times, with an optional delay between copies.
Setting the number of copies:
Enter the number of copies that you would like to plot in the
Copies to Plot
box.
The default value (1 copy) will only plot the page once.
Setting the delay between pages:
The value of
Seconds of delay between copies
in the
Timing
tab of AxiDraw Con-
trol sets how long the AxiDraw will pause between pages when plotting multiple
copies. This delay is intended to allow time for you to swap out the paper be-
tween copies. The default value is 15 seconds, but it can be set anywhere from 0
(no added delay) to 3600 seconds (1 hour).
Plotting continuously:
If
Copies to Plot
is set to 0 (zero), then the AxiDraw will plot continuously (with
the same delay between pages) until you press the physical pause button on
the left side of the AxiDraw. (See section “9.3 Pausing, resuming, and canceling
plots” on page 30 for more about pausing.)
For ease of use, it is recommended to press the button during the delay between
plots, while the AxiDraw is resting at the home position.
