Purpose Forces the printer to enter or stay in Plotting mode.
Discussion The printer normally operates in Printing mode (the default) to achieve
maximum throughput of standard fonts and spacing. Plotting mode
sacrifices speed but offers greater flexibility, such as special fonts, font
sizes, character spacing.
Force Plot mode prevents accidental shifting between the printed and plotted
fonts, and can reduce unnecessary paper shift. The default for DECFPM =
reset state.
