This chapter describes how to use the optional functions which are accessed by selecting OPTION1 or

7.1 Setting the PEN UP SPEED

The PEN UP SPEED function allows you to specify how fast the pen travels while it is raised (in PEN UP
status). To cut a medium that is difficult to cut (because it is too stiff or too limp), you must decrease the
travelling speed of the lowered pen by setting the SPEED parameter. By increasing the pen's travelling
speed in PEN UP status, however, you can shorten the overall cutting time.
