ORIGIN - Setting the Origin in HP-GL™ ™ Mode
There are two types of origins; Center and Lower Left. If HP-GL™ uses the Center mode and the
plotter uses the Lower Left Origin point you may lose plot data because it is out of the upper right
quadrant. The ORIGIN mode allows you to alternate between both origin types in HP-GL™ mode.

left point of the effective cutting (plotting) range.
