CapSkip

Normally, after each job the carriage caps in to its home position. However, when printing
multiple jobs after each other, this is a waste of time and of continuity. When enabling this
function, the capping routine will be postponed for 15 seconds. If a new job is sent within this
time interval, the carriage will not cap in.
