Do not execute the BUFFER CLEAR function until the computer has completed data output. If you clear the buffer
while the computer is still sending data to the plotter, the data received up to the time that PAUSE mode was selected
is cleared but the computer resumes sending subsequent data which remains in the buffer. When the [PAUSE] key is
pressed to cancel PAUSE mode, that data is cut/plotted. At such time, the pen carriage may suddenly start moving so
be sure to keep your hands, face, and other obstacles out of the vicinity of the pen carriage and Y bar.
If you selected CANCEL on the BUFFER CLEAR OK? screen, cutting/plotting resumes as soon as the [PAUSE] key is
pressed to cancel PAUSE mode.
