Odd, Positive Integer = Pen lifts before moving.
Odd, Negative Integer = Pen lifts after moving.
Even, Positive Integer = Pen lowers before moving.
Even, Negative Integer = Pen lowers after moving.
0 = No change.
N o Parameters = Pen remains in its present position, moves to
point specified, and lowers or remains down.
If iplt statement specifies point off of platen, pen draws
line to limit of platen and stops. If point lies off of
p l a t e n in "nearby" area (shown next), OUT OF LIMIT lamp turns
on. Plotter recognizes iplt statements in this area. If
p o i n t specified lies in "faraway" area, OUT OF LIMIT lamp
flashes and plotter does not recognize iplt statements.
Regular plot (pIt) statement must be used to specify point
that is either on platen or in nearby area before any further
iplt statements are recognized by plotter.
