Pen remains raised until point on platen is specified.
O p t i o n a l pen control parameter can be any integer in range
-32768
thru
32767.

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 point lies off platen but is within "nearby" area (shown
below), OUT OF LIMIT lamp will turn on. If point lies in
" f a r a w a y " area, OUT OF LIMIT lamp will blink.
