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.
