Note

In this manual the right and left

side refers to the right and left

side of the front of the FlexJet.

Design software usually refers

to the Origin (or Start Point)

as "lower left" because it is the

lower left corner of a plot. The

plot is usually oriented in the

printer rotated 90 degrees coun-

ter clockwise as shown in Figure

5. The lower left corner of the

plot is physically on the right side

of the printer.

The FlexJet creates printed images through synchronized media and

carriage motion. Files are sent to the printer from a computer or file

server via a serial or USB connection.

When the printer receives a file, the electronic logic system translates

the vector image into X-axis (paper motion) and Y-axis (carriage mo-

tion) instructions and uses digital feedback to ensure plot accuracy.

The FlexJet breaks the plot file into frame segments in order to plot

long markers. The printer then rolls the frame segments onto a take-

up shaft. The FlexJet can roll up to 600 yards onto the take-up shaft

at a time.
