PENS allows you to set the pen width, pen speed, and pen
sorting of your plotter.

Indicate the pen parameter you want by choosing from the
following options:

PEN WIDTH - to set the plotter pen width in millimeters.
Pen width indicates the width of pen movement used in
filling operations.

PENSORT - to choose the method of pen sorting (ON, OFF, or
OPTIMIZE). Pen sorting is an efficient way of plotting
because it conserves on pen selecting time.
You can choose to analyze the figure for entity color
assignment (ON). When you choose ON, the system draws all
entities that are the first color and then draws all
entities that are the second color, and so on, until all
entities are drawn. This method is more efficient than not
sorting.

You can turn the sorting option off (OFF). When you do not
use pen sorting, the plotter draws each entity as it comes
to it, selecting a new pen each time it is necessary.
You can efficiently sort pens by entity, not color
(OPTIMIZE). The system selects the pen color of the entity
and draws all entities of that color. Then it selects the
pen color of the next entity and draws all entities of 
that color. This process is repeated until all entities 
are drawn. This method saves the analysis time that the ON
option takes to sort the pens.
