2.4 Selecting the Sorting Mode
The MP303-04 comes equipped with a sorting function that controls the on/off status of both pen sorting and
vector sorting.
■ Pen sorting
To speed up plotting by reducing the number of pen exchanges required, this function reorganizes the se-
quence in which plotting is performed so that each color is completely plotted before selecting the next pen.
■ Vector sorting
This function speeds up plotting by minimizing the distance the pen travels in raised status from the end point of
one line to the starting point of the next line.
HINT
If plotting is performed with sorting mode enabled, the sequence in which lines are plotted or pens are
exchanged will be changed. When you wish to perform plotting in the exact sequence specified in your
application program, turn off the sorting function.
