A list of setting items displayed on the LCD is called a menu.
A specific operation specified on the operation panel is displayed on the LCD in one of the follow-
ing three modes.
Each of the three modes is explained below.
<< LOCAL >> mode
This is the mode in which the preparations for plotting operation are made.
When the power is switched on and the detection of a medium is completed, the device enters the
LOCAL mode. In this mode, it is possible to perform the following operations. (See page 1.20)
1. Pushing the appropriate [JOG] keys to detect a medium and set up an origin.
