Managing Plots Not Yet Printed (The Queue)
The normal sequence of events is:
1 You send a plot from your computer (or choose one of the internal sample plots

3 The plotter starts printing or, if queueing is on, places it in the queue until its turn
comes round.

Nesting may be on and the plotter is waiting for the specified Nest wait timeout
period before calculating the appropriate nests. See page 6-12.
In either case, if you want to override the timeout period and start printing
