Setting the pen change command

When using something other than software designed for cutting to output data, the computer may
send a pen change command to the PNC-1050.  If there is no need to change the tool, select
[IGNORED.]  When this is done, the PNC-1050 will continue operation while ignoring any pen
change commands.  If [EFFECT] is selected, the following is displayed when a pen change
command is received.  When this occurs, change the pen tool and press the 

ENTER

 key.  Plotting

will begin again.

Calling up the preference set

This calls up conditions which have been stored in step (7)-2.  When a number is selected with the

 and 

 keys, the title corresponding to the selected number appears at the bottom of the

display.  Select the title of the conditions to be used.  To call up the factory default settings, select 0
(zero).  The message [DEFAULT] will appear at the bottom of the display.  The values for each of
the factory defaults are shown in the following table.
