Troubleshooting and Maintenance 7-3
Plotter Maintenance The plotter has several sliding surfaces. These surfaces do not require any
lubrication. However, dust and lint may adversely affect plotter performance.
Use a dust cover to keep the plotter as clean as possible.
To clean the plotter:
1. If necessary, clean the plotter with a soft lint–free cloth slightly
dampened with a neutral detergent. DO NOT use abrasives.
2. To remove ink on plotter surfaces, use a clean cloth slightly dampened
with a weak solution of neutral detergent (approximately 1 part
detergent to 100 parts water). Squeeze out excess water and gently
scrub the affected area. Make sure no water drips into the plotter.
Pen Maintainance For refillable ink pen users only. Clean pens at the end of every work day if
possible. Daily cleaning is essential to prevent buildup of dried ink within the
nib or breathing channel. Daily cleaning assures that the pen will function
properly during normal use.
Pens should be capped and stored horizontally if they will not be used for
more than 15 minutes.
For best results, use 1492–PLSOLN and 1492-PLCLEAN.
ATTENTION
!
Do not use aerosol cleaners, household wall cleaners, or
anything containing solvents since these may damage
certain components.
