Loading The Paper - Roland DPX-3700A User Manual

5 Loading the Paper

• Do not allow sharp objects (such as a cutter, knife, or screwdriver) to scratch the electrostatic adsorptive
surface. This surface carries a high voltage charge and can be extremely dangerous.
• The Y-rail and pen carriage move when the power is turned on. Keep hands and other objects away from the
moving parts at this time.
• Do not move the pen carriage by hand. Accuracy be impaired.
• Touching the surface of the paper with the hands may reduce plot quality because of the adsorption of skin oils.
• Adsorptive force may vary according to the type of paper. Adsorption of two or more sheets of paper is not possible.
• Adsorptive force is reduced in areas where temperature is extremely low. At such times, the paper will
adsorb is allowed to stand for a short while (10 seconds) after placement on the drawing board.
• When opening a new package of paper, allow the paper to air for 30 minutes to an hour.
This airing helps prevent contraction or expansion of the paper due to humidity or temperature.

Paper is normally loaded horizontally (i.e., landscape
orientation). However, the following sizes of paper
should be loaded vertically (i.e., portrait orientation):
ISO A4, ISO B5, JIS A4, JIS B5, ANSI A, and DIN A4.
* When loading paper of nonstandard size, you should set
the paper in the lower left of the drawing board.

in the paper guide located in the lower left of the
drawing board.
In this case, however, the plotting area is
reduced by 7 mm (1/4") in each of the four
directions (top, bottom, left, and right).

the position of the paper becomes apparent, affix
the transparent positioning sticker included with
the plotter to the drawing board. This enables
