• Check to make sure that the pen carriage is not located near the pinch rollers so
that it does not interfere with the pinch roller settings.
• After checking that both ends of the plotter's power cord are securely con-
nected, turn on the plotter by pressing the "|" side of the POWER switch.
• The control panel's POWER lamp lights (green) and the plotter initializes. The
MAIN menu is displayed. This screen displays the firmware's version number
and selected command set. The screen displays either GL or HL. If GL is dis-
played the GP-GL command set is selected. If HL is diplayed the HP-GL com-
mand set is selected.
If you have already loaded media, the MEDIA TYPE menu appears.
NOTE: CONTINUE does not appear in the MEDIA TYPE menu during the first initial-
ization after turning the power on. All the menus in this section include CON-
TINUE assuming that it is in the second or a later initialization.
• If no media is loaded, you are prompted to do so.
• Press the F4 key to change parameters such as initial feed speed or interface
settings.
NOTE: If you are using media that tends to skew while cutting, the initial feed speed
setting should be set to SLOW.
The MEDIA TYPE menu appears when the media set lever is raised to secure
the loaded media.
