N o parameters = Pen remains in its present position, moves to
point specified, and lowers or remains down.
If iplt statement specifies point off platen, pen draws
line to limit of platen and stops. If point lies off
p l a t e n in "nearby" area (shown next), OUT OFLIMIT 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.
