Speed
Adjust the speed of the plot output. The default is “ ½” ”. 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.
Speeds: 2”
1-1/2”
1”
½” DEFAULT
ST (single trace mode ¼”)
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 Typ
Change the plot type by selecting the “Plot Typ” 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 adjust 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.
