14 Explanation of Display Menus
This section explains the menus shown in the display. The expression "factory default" in the chart refers to
default values set at the time shipment from the factory.
The methods for making settings at primary menus are
described in "15 Settings for Each Function" on the
following page. For other menus, refer to the pages
indicated in the "Remarks" column of the chart, or see
"13 Display Menus Flowchart" on page 19.

performing an area plot.

properly and that there are no problems.
Drawing
Choosing this moves to the menu for setting [Plotting speed], and [Paper position].
Force

When using pens from Roland DG Corp., pen force
can be set separately for each type of pen
corresponding to the pen numbers in the pen stock.
The DPX stores these settings in memory even after
the power to the unit has been turned off.

This sets the handshake mode required for serially
connecting the DPX with the computer.
