Setting the Pen and Inkjet Timers
The Tool Timer function allows you to see the time remaining in the life of the
pen, check the remaining inkjet capacity, and reset the pen life and cartridge
life values.
The pen timer tracks the amount of distance that the pen tip has been in
contact with the paper. This is important if your plotter runs unattended. If you
set the pen timer (at the parameter entry screen), the plotter automatically
stops when the distance expires.
