CHAPTER 1
Introduction
♦
The ODYSSEY XP calculates the job extremities when it receives a job.
If the job will not fit or the starting position must be adjusted, it
displays an appropriate message (when used with OMEGA or GA).
♦
Repeats (up to 9999 copies) of the last job plotted can be run from the
ODYSSEY XP.
♦
The operator can suspend a job, move the material for easy viewing,
and resume the job without affecting the material or job.
♦
You can upgrade the plotter firmware by downloading new firmware
from your PC.
