(POSITION) keys to change the initial copying
position or load a medium with an area of sufficient size to fit the copied data.
CHECKPOINT
• If the initial cutting/plotting position was moved from the original origin, the new origin
will also apply during the copying operation. To prevent wasteful use of the medium, the
initial cutting/plotting position for the data should be as close as possible to the origin.
• If the cutting plotter receives another set of data during the copying operation, the
operation will not be properly completed because the initial data is cleared during the
operation. Do not send new data to the cutting plotter while copying is in progress.
• If new data is sent to the cutting plotter more than 10 seconds after the initial cutting
data is sent, the original data will be cleared from the internal memory.
• Copying will not be possible if data exceeding 1.5 Mbytes is sent to the cutting plotter,
as the data will cause the buffer memory to overflow.
