[Pencil Group] Lead Hardness Grouping
In addition to automatic pencil grouping, the DPX also supports
menu setting of groups according to pencil hardness. For example,
say a total of three pencils are installed in the pen stock in order
from number 1 to number 3. (These are two pencils with 0.3 mm
lead diameter and HB hardness, and one pencil with a 0.3 mm lead
diameter and B hardness.) Initially, because all pencil numbers are
set to Group M1, all three pencils are included in the same group.
However, by using the [Pencil Group] menu and setting the pen
stock numbers for the HB pencils to Group M1 and then setting the
B pencil to Group M2, the three pencils can be divided into two
separate groups. If the pencil lead in the number 1 pen stock
position cannot be used, the pen carriage automatically takes the
pencil in position 2 and continues plotting. However, if the same
occurs with the pencil in stock position number 3, the pen carriage
will not attempt to continue plotting.
