§9.1 Plotting one or more copies, continued
9.1.1 Number of copies
Enter the number of copies that you would like to plot in the Copies to Plot box.
The default value, 1 copy, will only plot the page once.
As a special case (and noted as a “Tip” on the Plot tab), setting the number of
copies to 0 (zero) will cause the AxiDraw to plot continuously, with the given
delay between pages, until you press the physical pause button on the left side
of the AxiDraw. (See §9.2 Pausing, resuming, and canceling plots, on page 38
for more about pausing.)
If you do use this continuous plotting mode, we recommend that you press the
pause button during the delay between plots, while the AxiDraw is resting at the
home position.
9.1.2 Delay between pages
The value of Seconds of delay between copies sets how long the AxiDraw will
pause between pages when plotting multiple copies. This delay is intended to
allow time for you to swap out the paper between copies. The default value is 15
seconds, but it can be set anywhere from 0 (no added delay) to 3600 seconds
(1 hour).
Applicability of multiple copies:
These two parameters, Copies to Plot and Seconds of delay between copies,
apply only when plotting the document from the Plot or Layers tabs. They have
no eect on other functions.
