NOTE: For the pounce condition, the cutter offset refers to the spacing between holes

Changing Feed Speed
This function allows you to change the media feed speed from SLOW to NOR-
MAL. In the case of selecting ROLL-1 and SHEET on the media type menu, the
plotter uses SLOW to ensure the accuracy of the leading and trailing edges of the
media. After the initialization, the feed speed can increase once the grit rollers
and the pinch rollers secure the media. Always select SLOW for heavy media or
media with a slippery surface, otherwise select NORMAL to shorten the initializa-
tion time. Remember that the media will back up at the pen up speed when NOR-
MAL is selected.
For details see FEED – Advancing Media.
When the media set lever is lowered, the following menu appears on the display:
• Press the F4 key.
• Press the F3 key to select INITIAL FEED SPEED.
