(6) Enabling/Disabling Consecutive Pen Travel in Raised Status (PEN UP MOVE)
In response to the receipt of consecutive commands specifying pen movement in raised status,
this function determines whether the pen will travel to each point specified or only from the initially
specified point to the last specified point.
When ENABLE is selected, the pen consecutively travels in raised status to each coordinate specified
by the data received.
When DISABLE is selected, the pen travels in raised status from the initially specified point to the
last specified point, omitting intermediate points.
(The default setting is DISABLE.)
(7) Enabling/Disabling the MEDIA SENSORs
This function enables or disables the operation of the media sensors for detecting the size of the
loaded medium in the direction that film is fed.
When ON is selected, the operation of the media sensors is enabled.
When OFF is selected, the operation of the media sensors is disabled.
(The default setting is ON.)
(8) Enabling/Disabling the HOME SENSORs
This function enables or disables the operation of the home sensors for detecting the width of the
loaded medium.
When ON is selected, the operation of the home sensors is enabled.
When OFF is selected, the operation of the home sensors is disabled.
(The default setting is ON.)
(9) Selecting the PARALLEL I/F Mode
Centronics-compatible parallel interfaces do not all employ the same timing for their signal lines.
If the signal timing does not match, the receiving device cannot accurately receive data via the
Centronics-compatible parallel interface. This function allows you to change the timing of the
Centronics-compatible parallel interface by choosing among four different modes (1 through 4).
NOTE : If the media or HOME sensors have been disabled (the setting is OFF), be sure to specify
the plot area (see section 6.7). If the plot area is not specified, the cutting mat may be
damaged.
