8. Media Setting [MEDIA]
What is Pre Feed
This function prevents the loaded media from slipping by advancing the media by the specified length
and then drawing back to imprint grit roller marks on the media. It also ensures stable media feed
operations by acclimating long media to the operating environment. For roll media, the amount to use
for plotting must be pulled out beforehand. You can let the plotter do this work.
Panel Cutting
To prevent long skew, utilize partition length when cutting.
• When Panel Cutting is on, the machine will begin by dividing up partition length and continue cutting
until one of the following data breaks appears. When the first partitioned area cut is finished, the
machine will move to the next area, and repeat this until all areas have been cut.
• Data Breaks:
(1) No data sent for a few seconds after finishing cutting. (Time Out)
(2) A feed-related command is set. (GP-GL - F, FS commands, HP-GL - AF, AH, PG commands)
(3) HP-GL - SP0, NR, GP-GL - J0, SO
(4) When commands from data breaks (2) and (3) appear, that command work will begin after the
partition pastern cutting is finished.
• Panel cutting will continue for each piece of data when a data break is caused by a command, even
if multiple pieces of data are sent in before the cutting finishes (even when numerous pieces of panel
cutting data are in the plotter buffer).
• When panel cutting and auto media transfer are both turned on, the machine will ignore automatic
media transfer length settings and continue working with priority of partition α minutes ago
(with footprints).
• When panel cutting is on, registration marks will not be seen ignored, and copy, initial feed, and
cutting area cannot be changed.
• If 1 piece of data causes the buffer to be full, partition linking will not be possible. Make sure only to
send data that is below the buffer size.
