If difficulty in loading sheet media is experienced, an alternate method of loading is possible.
Do the following:
1. Ensure that the pinchwheel lever is down and the roll cover is closed.
2. Raise the window on the plotter.
3. Insert the sheet into the plotter until the leading edge hits the stops inside the platen
area. Align the right side of the sheet with the perforation line on the entry platen.
4. While holding the sheet against the stops and aligned with the perforation line, lower
the window on the plotter. Let go as soon as the plotter begins to pull the media in.
Perform steps 4 through 6 of the sheet loading procedure on the previous page to set the plot-
ter for the media type being used.

UNLOADING SHEET MEDIA

To remove an unplotted sheet, press the Form Feed/Cut button and remove the sheet when
the plotter is finished feeding it out. Another way to remove unplotted sheet media is to raise
the pinchwheel lever at the right, remove the sheet, and lower the lever.

CLEARING MEDIA JAMS

To clear a media jam, first press the Form Feed/Cut button to see if the plotter will cut, and
advance the media out. Should the jam remain, turn the plotter OFF and raise the pinchwheel
lever and window to the up position.

If necessary, push the ink-cartridge carriage and the cutter carriage away from the jammed
media. Handle only the solid plastic part of the ink-cartridge carriage and the extension on the
left end of the cutter carriage. Carefully remove the jammed media from the plotter. When
finished, lower the window and pinchwheel lever before turning the plotter back ON.
