Loading the Media

Supplement
•
This plotter is available with a electrostatic writing panel.
•
There are media that cannot be held down by any method. Please test before use.
•
Antistatic-treated media cannot be held down in electrostatic writing panel.
•
If air gets in between the writing panel and the media during loading, force out the air and ensure that the media is
securely attached to the writing panel before cutting.
•
When cutting a media that doesn't come with a backing sheet on the electrostatic writing panel, spread a vinyl backing
sheet or something similar on the panel before cutting. Replacement of damaged writing panel is available for a fee.
•
When loading a media that cannot be securely attached on the electrostatic writing panel, reinforce adhesion by using
tape on all four sides.
•
When using the electrostatic writing panel, do not use a spray glue and a spray glue remover directly on the writing panel.
•
When the media is changed to a different type, we recommend that you perform the registration mark sensor sensitivity
adjustment. (Refer to "Adjusting the Sensor Level" section in Chapter 5.)
How to Load the media
(1) Make sure that the [CHART HOLD] key is turned off.
(2) Place the media on the writing panel.
(3) Press the [CHART HOLD] key (to hold-down the media) next to the control panel.
(4) The green [CHART HOLD] key lamp (to hold-down the media) lights to indicate that the media is being held by
electrostatic adhesion.
Supplement
Press the [CHART HOLD] key again to release the electrostatic adhesion. The green lamp will not be lit.
It may take some time to be able to hold-down the media by pressing the [CHART HOLD] key depending on operating
environment.
After the media has been held for a while by electrostatic adhesion, it may become charged with static electricity and
therefore be harder to remove from the writing panel. There is nothing abnormal about this phenomenon.
