The normal sequence of events is:
1
You send a plot from your computer (or choose one of the internal sample plots
from the
Demos
menu).
2
The plotter’s
Receiving
light flashes while it receives and processes the data.
3
The plotter starts printing or, if queueing is on, places it in the queue until its turn
comes round.
To Start Printing a Plot That is Waiting for a Timeout
If all is in order (media loaded, cartridges loaded, no file error), there are still two
reasons why a plot you have sent from your computer may not start printing when
expected:
The plot file may lack a proper file terminator and the plotter is therefore
waiting for the specified
I/O timeout
period before assuming it is complete.
See
page 7-9.
Nesting may be on and the plotter is waiting for the specified
Nest wait
timeout
period before calculating the appropriate nests.
See page 6-12.
In either case, if you want to override the timeout period and start printing
