status or in the pen status (raised or lowered) that was in effect immediately
prior to receipt of the "W" command.
When PEN DOWN is selected, the pen is moved to the starting position for the
drawing of arcs in the pen status (raised or lowered) that was in effect
immediately prior to receipt of the "W" command. When PEN UP is selected, the
pen is moved to the starting position for the drawing of arcs in the raised status.
This setting is only effective if a cutter blade has been selected in the cutter-pen

This function sets whether the plotter places priority on the cutting conditions
specified through command input from the computer or through manual settings
(on the plotter control panel).
When MANUAL is selected, cutting is performed using the cutting conditions set
at the control panel, and cutting conditions sent from the computer are ignored.
When PROGRAM is selected, the cutting conditions can be set either at the
plotter's control panel or by command input from the computer. The most recent
setting conditions are set. When the power is turned off, only the conditions set
at the control panel are retained in the plotter's internal memory.
