Installing fan-fold paper

1.Loosen the rackmount thumbscrews and pull the plotter forward on the rails.

2.Release the lid assembly by grasping underneath the black latch bar and pulling it upwards (Figure 3-5). Open the plotter lid by lifting it straight upwards.

3.Remove paper roll and insert the fanfold guide over the spindle blocks (see Figure 3-6).

4.Feed the paper through the slot in the back or bottom of the plotter depending on which fan-fold paper tray is being used.

5.If using rear load fan-fold paper, feed the media under the rear fan-fold guide bar and over the front fan-fold guide bar.

Figure 3-4. If using bottom loaded fan-fold paper, feed the media over the rear fan-fold guide bar and over the front fan-fold guide bar.

6.Guide the paper over the blue platen roller and under the black cutter bar as shown in Figures 3-3 and 3-4.

7.When installing any media, ensure that the coated side of the media is on top and the TOF mark is on the bottom right side.

Installing and using film

Note that the plotter operates at 1.0 inch per second when using film. Install roll film as you would paper, ensuring that the coated side is on top.

Note that the cutter bar is designed for paper media only. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut film media.
