Operation 39
Controlled Stop
Use RUN CONT (or RUN SINGLE) to pause plotting and check the
current job.
To stop a continuous mode plot
1. Press either RUN key. The GS15
plus
stops the plot at the next
logical break in the program. Do not use slew keys or orientation for
the current job will be lost.
2. Press either RUN key to resume plotting at the exact same point.
Continuous Plot Exercise
1. Turn on the GS15
plus
. Load plotting paper, install the pen holder,
and set the tool force to .5.
2. Select either swivel or tangential knife mode by pressing the
SWIVEL KNIFE key. When swivel knife mode is selected, the light
above the SWIVEL KNIFE key is on.
3. Using the slew keys, position the carriage spindle approximately 1"
from the front edge of the plotting paper. Be sure that there are
several inches of paper extending past the carriage spindle and to the
left of the plotter.
4. Prepare two plot files. If using a GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE to
prepare the files, in the Plot Program choose a left Start Position and
a right End Position for both plots before sending them to the plotter.
This will prevent the files from plotting on top of each other. If
using another layout program, be sure to position the files so they
will not plot on top of each other.
Note: Entering an X,Y pre-position in the Plot Program is another way
to be sure that plots done in the RUN CONT mode will not plot on
top of each other. (See GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE Reference.)
5. Press the RUN CONT key. Both jobs will plot without a pause
between them.
