Control
Control determines whether certain printing parameters are set in the software applica-
tion or overridden by the printer's front panel. Control overrides the following param-
eters of the HP-GL/2 header file: repeat plot (RP) and enable auto cutter (EC).
Repeat Plot: With Control set to Printer, the printer will ignore RP commands in the
plot file and only print one plot. From the printer's front panel you can specify addi-
tional copies using the Reprints menu.
Enable Auto Cutter: With Control set to Printer, the printer will ignore EC commands
in the plot file and will not automatically cut after each plot. From the printer's front
panel, you can enable automatic cutting or initiate a command for a single cut.
Do not override software control when sending merged raster/vector data to the printer.
