8.1 Description of the Special Functions

The cutting plotter is also provided with the special functions described below. These functions are
specified only for special situations and are not used for normal cutting operations.
(1) Enabling/Disabling the ":", ",", and ";" Commands (When the COMMAND setting
is GP-GL)
When the COMMAND setting is GP-GL, this function is set to determine whether the cutting plotter
will recognize or ignore the receipt of ":", ",", and ";" commands. In the case where the leading
part of data is lost during data transfer, these commands may adversely affect the cutting operation.
In such case, set this function to DISABLE. (The default setting is DISABLE.)
(2) Moving the Pen in Raised or Lowered Status in Response to the "W" Command
(When the COMMAND setting is GP-GL)
This function determines whether, upon receipt of the "W" command for drawing a circle or arc
segment, the cutting plotter moves the pen to the specified starting position in either raised status
or the pen status (raised or lowered) that was in effect just prior to receipt of the "W" command.
When PEN DOWN is selected, the pen is moved to the starting position for drawing in the pen
status (raised or lowered) that was in effect just prior to receipt of the "W" command.
When PEN UP is selected, the pen is moved to the starting position for drawing in raised status.
This setting is only effective if the cutter pen has been selected.
(The default setting is PEN DOWN.)
(3) Returning the MODEL EMULATED ID in Response to the "OI" Command (When the
COMMAND setting is HP-GL)
When the COMMAND setting is HP-GL, this function determines how the cutting plotter responds
to the receipt of the "OI" command for requesting the model ID.
When 7550 is selected, the cutting plotter's response is 7550.
When 7586 is selected, the cutting plotter's response is 7586.
(The default setting is 7550.)
(4) Selecting the SETTING PRIORITY
This function determines whether the cutting plotter places priority on the cutting conditions specified
by command input from the computer or by manual settings at the cutting plotter's control panel.
When MANUAL is selected, the cutting plotter performs cutting based on the cutting conditions
specified at its control panel, ignoring command input specifying cutting conditions.
When PROGRAM is selected, the cutting plotter performs cutting based on the receipt of command
input specifying cutting conditions. If it does not receive such commands, it performs cutting according
to the cutting conditions specified at its control panel.
(The default setting is MANUAL.)
(5) Selecting the Blade Tip's Initial Position (INIT BLADE)
Whenever the cutting plotter is turned on or any setting of its cutting conditions is changed, initial
blade control is performed to position the cutter pen's blade on the medium so that the blade's
tip is properly oriented. This function selects the "initial blade position," which is the position where
initial blade control is performed.
When 2mmBELOW is selected, initial blade control is performed at a position 2 mm below the starting
position for cutting.
When OUTSIDE is selected, initial blade control is performed outside of the effective cutting area.
(The default setting is 2mmBELOW.)
