cord from the socket

Safety Precautions

Move the pen carriage slowly when moving it

manually in order to load the medium or for other

reasons.

•Moving it quickly may damage the plotter.

When using the cutter pen, take care not to extend

the cutter blade excessively.

•An excessive blade length will damage the cutting mat and

impair the plotter's cutting quality.

Always turn off the power before tilting the writing

panel (this precaution only applies to those models

with an adjustable writing panel).

When disconnecting the power cord or an interface

cable, do not pull on the cord/cable.

•Suchactionwilldamagethecord/cable,resultinginare

PREFACE

Precautions After Turning on the Plotter

During operations, immediately after completion of operations, and when setting cutting plotter functions,

thepencarriage,Ybar,andotherpartswhicharenotxed,maymovesuddenly.Donotletyourhands,hair,

or clothing get too close to the moving parts or within their range of movement. Do not place any foreign

objects in or near these areas either. If your hands, hair, clothing, or the like get caught in, or wrapped

around moving parts, you may be injured and the machine may be damaged.

If the plotter is used in a tilted position and the power is turned off when the pen carriage is located in the

upper part of the writing panel, the pen carriage will slide down and hit the bottom edge of the plotter. Be

sure to move the pen carriage down to its lowermost position before turning off the power.

Do not put your hand into following part. Such action may cause human injury.

Moter Cover

Do not put your hand

into this opening.

PREFACE

Daily Maintenance and Storage

During daily maintenance, pay particular attention to the following points.

(1) Do not lubricate the plotter mechanisms.

(2) To clean the plotter's metal parts, either wipe the soiled areas with a dry cloth or with a cloth that has been

dampened with a neutral detergent diluted with water.

Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or similar solvents as they may damage the casing's nish.

(3) If the writing panel surface is soiled, wipe it with a dry cloth. If the surface is extremely dirty, wipe the surface with

a cloth that has been dampened with alcohol or a neutral detergent diluted with water. Make sure that the cloth has

been well wrung out.

•Do not use antistatic cleaners or cloths treated with an antistatic agent to clean an electrostatic writing panel.

Antistatic agents will adversely affect the electrostatic adhesion of the panel.

•Do not use benzine, thinners, or similar solvents to clean the writing panel. They will damage the surface.

•Electrostatic adhesion writing panels tend to attract airborne dust and dirt. Clean off any dust or dirt that

adheres to the writing panel.

•During periods of high humidity, the adhesion force of electrostatic adhesion panels may drop slightly.

When the plotter is not in use, follow the instructions listed below.

(1) Remove the pen from the pen carriage and store it with the pen cap on.

(2) Cover the plotter with the soft cover supplied or a cloth to keep dust off.

(3) Store the plotter in a location which is not subject to either direct sunlight or high humidity.
