USER MODE
Selects between two user-defined settings. Default “User 1”. To access functions in
either user mode:
• Select ON/OFFLINE
• Press MENU button once “User Mode” is displayed
• Then “User 1” will be displayed
• Press UP Arrow to change setting
SPEED
Adjust the speed of the plot output. The default is ST. Change the speed by selecting the
speed option in the appropriate menu. Move up or down the scale by pressing the up
and down arrows. Speed is in inches per second (ips).
Speeds: 2 (ips)
1-1/2 (ips)
1 (ips)
1/2 (ips)
ST(single trace mode)
NOTE: If the plot speed is erratic, or if output quality is unacceptable, lower the plot
speed. Such problems may arise when data enters the plotter at a slower rate than the
plotter is set for. This is most likely to occur at 2”/sec. setting. Lowering the speed
enables the plotter to match the input rate of data and produces a smoother, better
quality output.
CONTRAST
Change the contrast by selecting the “ Contrast” option in the appropriate menu. Move
up or down the scale by pressing the up and down arrows.
Default “0”.
Range: +4.... 0.... –4
NOTE: If the plot is light, be sure the correct media type is selected. Increase the
contrast level by one and test, repeat if needed.
PLOT TYPE
Change the plot type by selecting the “Plot Type” option in the appropriate menu. Move
up or down the scale by pressing the up and down arrows.
Default “Normal”.
Types: Normal.... Mirror
NOTE: Setting to mirror the plotter will mirror image the data received.
MEDIA
Selects supported media types. The default setting is non top coat, displayed as “Non
T.C.”. Note that if you use other media, you must change the media setting. If unsure of
the media specifications, start at the Non T.C. setting and then increase the setting to
Top Coat if necessary.
Types: Non T.C. and Top Coat
NOTE: Change the media setting by pressing the up or down arrows in the MEDIA
submenu. Select NO T.C. P (light paper), TC PAPER (heavy paper).
CAUTION: Thermal plotting technology involves high temperatures. Incorrect media
settings can damage the print head or other components, damage the media and void
the warranty.
