Warning for Use

Precaution for Use

WARNING

Do not disassemble or remodel the plotter Avoid locating the plotter in a damp environment

• Never disassemble or remodel the plotter.

Disassembly or remodeling can result in

an electric shock or breakdown of the

machine.

• Do not use the plotter in a damp place. Do

not splash water onto the machine. Use in

such an environment can give rise to fire,

electric shocks or breakdown of the plotter.

In case abnormal event occurs Handling of the power cable

• Use of the plotter under an abnormal

condition where the device produces

smoke or strange smell can result in fire or

electric shocks. If such an abnormality is

found, be sure to turn off the power switch

immediately and unplug the cable from the

wall outlet. Check first that the plotter no

longer produces smoke, and contact your

distributor for repair. Never repair your

plotter by yourself since it is very

dangerous for you to do so.

• Use the supplied power cable.

• Take care not to damage, break or work

upon the power cable. If a heavy material

is placed on the power cable, or if it is

heated or pulled, the power cable can

break, thus resulting in fire or electric

shocks.

CAUTION

Be careful with the movable parts Sheets

• Do not touch the rolling grit roller;

otherwise, you may hurt your fingers or

tear off your finger nails.

• Keep your head and hands away from any

moving parts during cutting (plotting)

operation; otherwise, you may get your

hair caught in the machine or get injuries.

• Wear proper clothes. (Do not wear loose-fit

clothes or accessories). Bind a long hair.

• Use a strongly curled sheet after removing

curl. Heavily curled sheet affects the

cutting (plotting) result.

Caution with cutters

• Do not touch the cutter blade, which is very

sharp.

• Do not shake or swing the cutter holder;

otherwise, the blade may come off.

When the sheet is misaligned

Check each item below:

Check whether it is

used under the

environment rec-

ommended by our

company.

Referring to P.5 "Prepare the place where meets conditions below:",

check whether APC-130 is used under the environment recommended by our

company.

Check whether the

pinch roller is set

at the proper posi-

tion.

(1) Check that the pinch roller matches white seal position.

By matching the pinch roller with white seal, the grit roller position matches

the pinch roller position, and the sheet can be fed normally.

(2) Check that four pinch rollers hold the sheet.

If the number of pinch rollers is less, the stable feeding cannot be per-

formed.

(3) Check that the pinch roller position at the right end and the left end.

Check that the pinch roller at the right end and the left end are on the posi-

tion from 5mm and more inside from the sheet end.

Check whether the

clamp power set-

ting is proper.

The clamp power setting shall be the same both for right and left. Otherwise,

the stable sheet feeding cannot be performed.

Reference for clamp setting

Check whether

there is no defor-

mation of the pinch

roller.

If there is dirt or ink blot on the pinch roller, or the pinch roller has been dam-

aged or has become deformed, the sheet cannot be fed normally.

→Remove dirt or ink blot.

→If it has been damaged or has become deformed, contact a distributor in

your district or our office to call for service.

• Especially, check the temperature and the humidity. On a rainy

day, the sheet may expand and shrink much, and it may cause

sheet misalignment.

Use it under the environment with little change in the temperature

and the humidity.

When the sheet is misaligned (continued)

Check whether a

piece of paper is

not wound on the

grit roller.

After removing the clogged sheet etc., a piece of paper may be wound on the

grit roller. Turn OFF the power supply, and rotate the grit roller manually to

remove the paper.

At this time, be careful not to clip your hand or get injured on it.

Check whether the

sheet is set prop-

erly.

If the sheet has not been set properly, the sheet feeding may be misaligned

due to the difference between the tensions of right and left of the sheet etc.

Check the following items:

(1) Check that the media edge is not in the status of the bad example below.

(2) Check whether you set the sheet straight

Good example

All edge surfaces match

each other.

Bad example

The edge surfaces are misaligned, and it

looks like a bamboo shoot.

Good example

• Seen from the rear side, the tension of right and left of the sheet is the

same.

• When you feed the sheet, the roll edge surface matches the sheet

edge.

The tension of right and left of

the sheet is almost the same.

When you feed the sheet, the roll edge

surface matches the sheet edge.

Bad example

• Seen from the rear side, either of right or left of it sags.

• When you feed the sheet, the roll edge surface does not match the sheet

edge.

Either of right or left of it sags. The roll edge surface

does not match the

sheet edge.

When the sheet is misaligned (continued)

Check whether the

sheet is set prop-

erly.

(3) Check whether you perform pre-feed

Be sure to perform pre-feed. Roll sheet may expand or shrink not a little

due to the environment change by changing its status of being taken-up to

sagging. Because of this, the position relationship at the end of cutting

may be different from that at the start, or, the paper may skew and slant.

For the pre-feed setting method, refer to the Operation manual chapter

3 “Setting the PRE FEED”.

(4) Check whether the sheet does not float at the sheet detection.

If the sheet floats, reset it.

(5) Check whether the roll sheet that has not been wound tightly (sagging) is

not used.

If you rewind the roll sheet repeatedly, the sheet may sag due to expansion

and contraction of the media. If you set the sheet with surface waviness,

even tension cannot be applied on both right and left, and therefore, the

stable feeding cannot be performed.

Check whether a

usable sheet is

used.

Referring to the Operation manual chapter 5 “Specification-Settable

sheet”, check that it is a usable sheet with APC-130.

If you use a sheet other than the specified, the stable feeding may not be per-

formed.

A heavy sheet is used.

When you use a heavy sheet, set “Setting the SHEET TYPE” of the Setting

function to “HEAVY”. (For the setting method, refer to the Operation manual.)

Check whether con-

tinuous cutting has

not been performed.

If you perform continuous cutting, the sheet may be slanted gradually. In such

a case, after adjusting misalignment of the sheet using the hold function (refer

to the Operation manual), you can cut continuously.

Check whether the

cut pattern does

not come off.

When the cut pattern comes off as described in the photo below, it may impact

on the feeding.

The cutter becomes dull in a short time

Check each item below:

Settable paper

The settable paper size is as below:

When you replace pen line

The pen line can be replaced on the customer side.

Purchase the pen line of the Product No. below, and replace it by referring to the Operation manual

chapter 1 “Pen line”.

Pen line APC：Product No. SPC-0725

Check the sheet

you use.

When the sheet is hard or thick, or due to the sheet composition, the life of the

blade may shorten.

Is the proper cut-

ting condition set?

First, make the cutting pressure (PRESS) stronger. (Refer to the Operation

manual chapter 2 “Set the Tool Conditions”.)

Even if you made the cutting pressure (PRESS) stronger and when you can-

not cut, adjust the protruding amount of the blade edge.

Is the protruding

amount of the

blade edge proper?

Adjust the protruding amount of the blade edge. (Use the value of sheet thick-

ness +0.3mm as a reference.)

• If the protruding amount of the blade edge is too much, the life

of the blade may shorten. In addition, by hitting sheet, it may

cause a paper jam, or, it may cut outside the targeted place.

Adjust the protruding amount of the blade edge properly.
