Loading the Pens

About the Rubber Pen-cap Fitting
Before loading the pens make sure that the pen cap rubbers are set correctly (The pen cap rubber is mounted on
the pen stock when the plotter is packed ). The pen cap rubbers help prevent the pen tips from drying out, but they
will not perform optimally unless they are mounted correctly.
Pen cap rubbers have fronts and backs, and either may be used depending on the type of pen each protects.
