CAUTION
• Only use this function after the plotter has finished receiving all of the data sent from the computer.
• If you perform a BUFFER CLEAR operation while the computer is in the process of sending data,
the data received in the plotter’s internal buffer memory before the plotter was switched to PAUSE
status will be cleared, but the plotter will output any data received after it returns to READY status
from PAUSE status. In the latter case, the plotter may suddenly start operation, so be sure to keep
hands and other parts of the body away from the pen holder.
If you select NO in response to the “BUFFER CLEAR?” prompt, the plotter will resume the operation which
you suspended by pressing the PAUSE key.
