Locking the Pinchwheels Off of the Platen

The idler pinchwheels have a locking feature* that will hold them off
of the platen during cutting or plotting. This will reduce ink smear-
ing if plotting with a heavy ink marker.
1. Lift the idler pinchwheels off the platen with the pinchwheel lever.
2. Press on the handles at the rear of the idler pinchwheel arm.
3. Flip the locking clip into position with both thumbs. Make sure
that the clip is under the lower tabs.
4. When the pinchwheels are lowered onto the platen the idlers
will stay in the up position.
