• Plotting on Paper Media — PEN MODE Key and PEN MODE LED

The PNC-900 is also capable of plotting on paper media using plotter pens made by this company. You should use only thick water-based fiber-tipped pens.

Since the design of the PNC-900 differs inherently from that of dedicated plotters, it does not accommodate functions such as high-speed plotting, automatic pen changes, pen dry protection, or the like.

Procedure

(1)Refer to "Installation" in on page 6 to install a pen. (In the instructions, read "pen" for "blade holder.") There is no need to perform an operation test when in the Pen Mode.

(2)Refer to "Loading the Sheet" on page 7 to load a piece of paper in the same way as for loading a sheet. Paper with a width (horizontal dimension) between 50 mm (1-15/16") and 305 mm (12") can be loaded.

(3)

Press the PEN MODE key

PEN MODE

→ The PEN MODE LED lights up

(4)Plotting begins when plotting instructions are sent from the computer.

* Be sure to perform pen plotting only in the Pen Mode.

Stopping Plotting on Paper Media

Press the PEN MODE key. The PEN MODE LED is extinguished and the unit returns to the cutting mode.

Pen Replacement

Pens will eventually wear out. Should the tip become rough and produce scratchy lines, try gradually increasing the blade force (refer to page 8, "4-6 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force"). If increasing the blade force does not help, the pen should be replaced.
