5.15 Setting the Cutting/Plotting Area

The U.R. (Upper Right) and L.L. (Lower Left) functions are used to specify the effective cutting area of the
plotter so that any data specifying coordinate positions outside of the effective cutting area is disregarded.
The origin moves together with the new cutting area.
As soon as both the L.L. and U.R. points are set, the pen carriage moves to the new origin. To avoid injury, keep your
hands and other obstacles out of the vicinity of the pen carriage and Y bar.
