Certain programming practices will assure more effective use of plotter.
A m o n g these are:
Select pen before first plot command to assure plot is actually

Lift pen before changing colors to avoid a dot of new color at termination
of last vector.
Store pens at completion of plot so pens do not dry out.
When using A4 or 8-1/2 in. X 11 in. paper, reset P1 and P2 manually or
programmatically to points inside paper area. Default P2 will scale
plot beyond limits of 8-1/2 in. X 11 in. paper.
