6.25 Setting the PEN UP SPEED
This function allows you to set the traveling speed of the pen in the raised status.
When using media that is difficult to cut (such as hard media or soft media), the
pen-down speed must be set to a slow speed. Setting the pen-up speed to a fast
speed reduces the overall cutting time.
