Safety Precautions

WARNING

Do not touch the moving parts such as rollers and

tool carriage while cutting or plotting is in progress.

•Such action may result in injury.

No touching

Be sure to ground the earth terminal.

•If the plotter is not grounded, the operator could suffer an

electric shock in the event of current leakage.

Ground the Plotter

Keep your hands, hair, etc., away from the rollers or

moving parts such as the carriage even if the plotter is

stopped, as it may suddenly start moving when data is

received.

•Such action may result in injury.

No touching

Do not disassemble, repair, or remodel the plotter.

• Such action may cause electric shock or a re hazard due to

current leakage.

•Contact with the high-voltage parts within the plotter may

cause electric shock.

•If the plotter requires repairs, contact your sales

representative or nearest Graphtec vendor.

No disassembly

Do not connect the plotter to a non-rated power

supply.

• Such action may cause electric shock or a re hazard due to

current leakage.

Prohibited

Do not use the plotter in a location where it will be

exposed to water, rain, or snow.

• Such action may cause electric shock or a re hazard due to

current leakage.

Avoid water

Beware of

electrical shock

If the plotter generates smoke, overheats, emits a

strange odor, or otherwise functions abnormally, do

not continue using it. Turn off the power and unplug

the power cord from the electrical socket.

• Use of the plotter in such a condition may result in a re

hazard or electric shock.

Safety Precautions

CAUTION

Do not clean the plotter using volatile solvents such

as thinner or benzene.

•Such action may impair its performance.

Prohibited

Do not place the plotter on an incline, areas subject

to many vibrations, or other unstable locations.

•If the plotter falls, it may sustain damage.

Do not place magnetic cards, diskettes or similar

items in the vicinity of the tool carriage.

•The magnetic force may destroy the data on the magnetic

cards or diskettes.

Prohibited

Run a test cut when cutting media with unknown

condition settings.

•Running a cut operation with incorrect setting values may

cause a large overload to the blades and device or a system

breakdown.

Do not attempt to lubricate the cutting-plotter

mechanisms.

•Such action may cause it to break down.

Prohibited

Provide sufcient space around the plotter so that

it does not strike any objects in its vicinity during

cutting.

•Such contact may cause misalignment in cutting or plotting.

No touching

When using the cutter, take care not to extend the

blade more than necessary.

•An overly extended blade will damage the cutting mat and

adversely affect the cutting quality.

When using indoor lighting such as uorescent or

other electrical lamps, provide a distance of at least

one meter between the plotter and the light source.

•Close proximity of such a light source may cause the sensor

to malfunction and prevent proper size detection of the media.

Move the tool carriage slowly when moving it

manually in order to load the medium or for other

reasons.

•Moving it quickly may damage the plotter.

Prohibited

Preface

Thank you for choosing a Graphtec CE6000-120AP plotter. The CE6000-120AP plotters employ a digital

servo drive system to achieve high-speed and high-precision cutting. In addition to cutting with any

perforation pattern, the CE6000-120AP plotter can also be used as a pen plotter. To ensure high cutting

quality and optimal productivity, be sure to read this User's Manual thoroughly prior to use.

Instruction Manual

The Instruction Manual is included as a PDF on the CD-ROM, and gives detailed explanations on the

operation of this machine.

Special Precautions on Handling Blades

Sharp cutter blades are used with this plotter. Handle the cutter blades and holders with care to prevent

bodily injury.

Cutter Blades

Cutter blades are very sharp. While handling a cutter blade or cutter pen, be careful to avoid cutting your

ngers or other parts of your body. Promptly return used blades to the cutter case provided.

Blade tip

When the case is completely lled, discard the used blades together with the case.

Cutter Pens

The tip consists of a sharp blade. Be sure not to extend it too far. Moreover, when you are not using the

cutter pen, make sure that the blade is fully retracted.

Cutter blade

After Mounting the Cutter Pen

After the power has been turned on, and during operation, do not touch the pen tip. It is dangerous.

III

After Turning on the Plotter

During the course of turning on the plotter, be sure to observe the following precautions. The tool carriage

and loaded media may suddenly move during the cutting operation, immediately afterward and when setting

the plotter's functions. Keep hands, hair, clothing and other objects out of the vicinity of the tool carriage, grit

rollers and loaded media. To prevent operator injury and poor cutting results, be careful not to allow hands,

hair, clothing or other foreign objects to become entangled with the tool carriage or loaded media while the

plotter is operating.

During a plotting or cutting operation, do not touch the gears, rollers, or other moving parts.

Please be careful not to get your ngers pinched or stuck on the gears, rollers, or other moving parts when

loading the medium.

Machine Caution Label

The machine's Caution Label is located on the top cover. Be sure to observe all the cautions on the label.

About the words and phrases in this text

• In this instruction manual, the word "plot" refers to operating the machine and using either the plotting pen

or the cutter pen to cut.

• In this instruction manual, the word "media" refers to paper, roll, or sheet media.

Prior to use

• Be sure to read the attached TO ENSURE SAFE AND CORRECT USE prior to use. Otherwise, it may

cause an unexpected accident or re.

Notes on the basket

If the supplied basket is not used, problems in cutting quality may occur. Be sure to use the basket.

Notes on the paper (media)

Please use the paper (media) in accordance with the following precautions.

• The paper is sensitive to temperature and humidity, and can start to stretch or contract immediately upon

removal from the roll. Cutting/plotting the media immediately after taking it off causes it to stretch and may

blur or cause deviations in the images.

• Please make sure to store the paper at the same environment (temperature/humidity) as this machine.

• Please always line up the edge of the paper.

Misalignment may cause skewing and mis-cuts.

• About the end of the roll media and the paper roll.

The cutting or plotting may differ depending on how the roll media ended or how the paper roll was stopped.

• About the paper roll.

This machine uses rolls with an internal diameter of 3 inches, or 76.2 mm. Mis-cuts or plotting deviations

may occur if the paper roll is warped or has a larger internal diameter.

• Please make sure to use the Paper Exposure Time and Number of Pre Feeds settings.

The media can start to stretch or contract after it is taken off the roll. Changes in temperature and/or humidity

affect the paper's contractibility and saturation time, and may cause mis-cuts or plotting deviations.

To prevent this from occurring, this machine is preset for Paper Exposure Time at 180 seconds, and

Number of Pre Feeds at 2. For details on how to change these settings, see "Setting Paper Exposure Time"

and "Setting the Number of Pre Feeds" in Section 4.

• Using the thin media (70 g/m2)

When the cutting speed is too fast, the media deviations may occur. Reduce the cutting speed to use the

thin media.

Especially, please reduce the cutting speed in low humidity environment.

Operating environment

With regard to changes in the operating environment, we guarantee the precision of our products under the

following conditions:

• The paper used is Graphtec brand for this machine.

• The Paper Ready Time and Number of Pre Feeds are the manufactures settings of 180 seconds and 2

times.

• There are no changes in the storage temperature and humidity levels.

• If there are changes, the repeatable accuracy is equivalent to 0.1 mm per degree Celsius or 0.3 mm per

10% Relative humidity.

• The paper is re-set after 5 consecutive page cuts.

• Each page is removed from the basket after cutting.

• Connection of a ground wire is required.

* When the ground wire is not connected, the machine may be affected by static electricity.

When using the machine without connecting a ground wire, there may be adversely affected in the cutting

results. Make sure that the machine is grounded.
