Verifying Plotter Operation
The plotters contain several types of internal operational checks and tests to ensure that the plotter is properly functioning and to help identify problems if any are detected.
PowerOn SelfTests
Whenever you switch the plotter on, it automatically performs a series of internal self:tests and mechanical initialization sequences. If a failure occurs, an error is indicated on the front:panel LEDs. You can perform a failure analysis by interpreting the LED error code. (Details ' chapter 8.)
Demonstration Plot
You can check proper plotter operation by plotting and examining the demonstration plot, which is resident in the plotters. This plot shows different plotter capabilities including pen line widths and shading. You can set the demonstration plot, to plot in any of the languages listed in the Language box of the setup sheet on the following page.
