Setting and Using the Special Functions
5-3
Enabling/Disabling the Home Sensors
This function sets the home sensors that detect the width of the medium.
When ENABLED is selected, the home sensors are enabled.
When DISABLED is selected, the home sensors are disabled.
(The default setting is ENABLED.)
Setting the PARALLEL I/F Mode
Parallel (Centronics-compatible) interfaces have various timing methods for their signal lines. If the
signal timings do not match, data cannot be received accurately via the Centronics-compatible
parallel interface.
This function allows the timing of the Centronics-compatible parallel interface to be changed by
selecting Timing 1 or 2.
(The default setting is 1.)
Circle-Command Resolution Setting (when the COMMAND setting is HP-GL)
This function sets whether the resolution is automatically set or fixed at a constant 5 degrees when
a cutting-plotter circle command is output while the COMMAND setting is HP-GL.
(The default setting is DEFAULT.)
Enabling/Disabling Blade Wear Detection
When ENABLED is selected, the blade wear-detection setting is enabled and the blade wear-
detection setting menu is displayed in the PAUSE menu.
When DISABLED is selected, the blade wear-detection setting is disabled, and the blade wear-
detection setting menu is removed from the PAUSE menu and is not displayed. For details on wear
detection, refer to see "4.4 Blade Wear Detection."
(The default setting is DISABLED.)
Setting the Cross-Cut Force
The cross-cut force can be set in the range "1" to "31".
The default value is 20.
CHECKPOINT
If the media or home sensors have been disabled (set to OFF), be sure to specify the cutting/plotting
area (see "4.11 Setting the Cutting/Plotting Area"). If the cutting/plotting area is not specified, the
cutting mat may be damaged.
