。Detection of the presence or absence of a pen in the storage pen holder section 6 is performed when the power is turned on or when initial settings are made. See Figure 2. In FIG. 2, the pen presence/absence detection sensor 32 of the storage pen holder section 6 is connected to the Y bar 3 of the recording pen drive mechanism 3.
1 is provided at the end of the pen holder 6 side. When the power is turned on or initial settings are made, the Y bar 31 is set to
It is scanned in the axial direction (the parallel direction of the storage pen holders 6).
