CHAPTER 2
BASIC OPERATION
2-23
Setting the pen number
Allocate the pen numbers (DATA Nos.) contained in data entered on
the host computer to the numbers of pens installed in the No. 1 to No.
8 positions of the magazine. Once the pen numbers are designated,
you can plot with multiple pens contained in data with one pen in-
stalled in the magazine.
In addition, when a magazine pen number is allocated to two or more
data numbers, you can establish pressures that differ with data num-
ber. This will allow you to use one mechanical pencil with different
pressures to discriminate between bold lines and lightly shaded parts
• If you have specified a pen number in which no pen is installed, the ma-
chine will not fetch the pen. Instead, the machine will continue plotting
using the pen that is currently installed in the carriage.
