Clearing the Buffer Memory

This function allows you to clear all the output data in the cutting plotter's buffer memory.
CAUTION
•
Do not execute the BUFFER CLEAR function until the computer has completed data output.
•
If you clear the buffer while the computer is still sending data to the plotter, the data received up to the time that PAUSE
mode was selected is cleared but the computer resumes sending subsequent data which remains in the buffer.
At such time, the pen carriage may suddenly start moving so please be careful.
