AUTO PRE-FEED - Advancing the Media Automatically
The auto pre-feed function is used to prevent the loaded media from slipping
caused by pulling the media out from the stock roll during cutting/plotting.
If this function is enabled, the plotter begins feeding as soon as initialization is
complete. During cutting/plotting, the plotter stops its job if the next cut/plot data
goes beyond the length that has been pulled out from the stock roll. If this occurs,
feed the media length in accordance with the Feed Length setting, then resume
the cutting/plotting job.
Please note that this function should be set before the cutting/plotting job is
started since changing the setting of this mode leads to the plotter’s initialization,
clearing all the data needed to continue the suspended job in the buffer.
