Printing a Marker

Overview

The basic steps required to print a marker on the printer are:
1. Turn the printer and computer power on.
2. Load paper.
3. Install cartridge in the stall.
4. Set an origin.
5. Start FlexPlot or your design application.*
6. Send marker/plot files.
These steps are outlined in the next several sections. In most cases
the design files are sent to the printer from FlexPlot or the design ap-
plication. If necessary, use the Ioline Control Center to send design
files or adjust settings.

General Guidelines

1. Good paper loading makes good plots. Follow loading instruc-
tions carefully.
2. Ensure that the paper roll is properly loaded on the feed shaft.
Paper width determines the roll's position on the shaft.
3. Keep the plastic feed shaft block clean and well lubricated.
4. Use the FlexPlot software for optimal file management and
printing throughput.
