pressed to cancel PAUSE mode, that data is cut/plotted. At such time, the pen carriage may suddenly start moving so
be sure to keep your hands, face, and other obstacles out of the vicinity of the pen carriage and Y bar.
If you selected CANCEL on the BUFFER CLEAR OK? screen, cutting/plotting resumes as soon as the [PAUSE] key is
pressed to cancel PAUSE mode.
