Change the cutting (plotting) order
You can reorder or sort the cut data that has been sent from the host computer to change the order for cutting
(SORTING function).
Suppose that there is data that you want to cut just like drawing a picture with a single stroke, according the
order in which data is sent from application software. But in case you cannot do it in one continuous pen stroke,
you can change the cutting order to make it.
You cannot perform such one-stroke cutting in the following cases
Some applications software send data to the plotter in the order that the data has been created and edited.
• For example, in case you have modified the data read in via scanner, you cannot cut it in one stroke as the
modified part is cut later.
When you want to cut after SORTING
With the sorting function, the plotter handles a piece of data corresponding to each cutting operation that starts
with pen down and ends with pen up as one block. After the completion of cutting one block, the plotter will
perform cutting of another block whose starting point is closest to the finished block.
For data transmitted from the host computer, the starting position
and cutting direction will not be changed.
● : Starting point of data = Starting point of cutting
Arrow : Direction of data = Cutting direction
Number : Block cutting order
