Plotting speed

This selects plotting speed. When shipped from the factory, this is set to [ NORMAL ], for a maximum plotting
speed of 420 mm/sec in all directions. When [ FAST ] is selected, maximum plotting speed is set at 600 mm/sec
(45

°

orientation).

SW1-9, -10 Performing Cutting

With the purchase of the optional Blade Holder Set (DXY-BHS), the DXY can be used to cut special sheets. In
order to for corners to be cut accurately, the tip of the blade requires an offset. This switch is used to set the
appropriate offset value for the blade. When using the blades included in the Blade Holder Set, this should be set
to 0.25 mm.

Cautions When Performing Cutting

• Make sure that the installation of the DXY is flat and level.
• The DXY cannot be used to cut fluorescent or thick sheets.
• Pen changing is not performed when in the cutting mode. Be sure that the blade holder is installed in the pen

carriage.

• When carrying out cutting, be sure to spread out a cutting-use protective pad to prevent damage to the drawing

board.

• When cutting, use cellophane tape to secure the sheet and cutting-use protective pad in place. Because the metal

plates and paper clips for the DXY-1150A make strike and damage the blade during cutting, use of these should
be avoided.

SW 2-1 to -4

Character set selection

The DXY has 19 character sets, and this selects the one enabled when power is turned on. See "Character Sets" for
a list of available character sets.

SW 2-8

Auto Protocol function

Set this to [ AUTO ] for automatic determination of communication parameters. When set to [ FIX ], communi-
cation parameters are a bit rate of 9,600 baud, even parity, data length of 7 bits, and one stop bit.

SW 2-9 and -10

Instruction set selection

Make this setting to correspond to the instruction set in use. When using DXY-GL, set the operation step at 1 step/
0.1 mm (0.00394") or 1 step/0.025 mm (0.000984").
When performing output with the driver included with the DXY-1350A/1150A, select RD-GL I.

SW 1-6

Plot rotation

When this switch is set to ON, the normal plot orientation is rotated 90

°
