1.3 Mounting the Pens

I Mounting a Pen in the Pen Station
Fit the pen's lower groove into the notched section of the pen station. Be sure to mount the pen so that its pen
cap is pressed down and its pen tip is completely inside the pen cap.
The figures below show examples of a correctly mounted pen.
When mounting a pen, there should be no gap between the pen station's notched section and the pen (shown
below on the left) and the pen should not be outside of its pen cap (shown below on the right). An incorrectly
mounted pen may cause unsatisfactory plotted results or plotter malfunctions.
NOTE
Whenever possible, try to consistently use the same Pen No. for a specific color. If you mount another pen
of a different color, the ink of the previous pen will adhere to the tip of the newly mounted pen and may
cause the pen to initially plot lines of mixed colors.
