Loading Media
Sheet Media
This section describes the steps for loading media in the plotter. Note that the
media can be loaded either before or after turning on the plotter.
CAUTION: Be sure to move the pen carriage slowly. Moving the pen carriage quickly may
damage the plotter.
NOTE:
If necessary, slowly move the pen carriage out of the way while the power is
off. After the first initialization, use the arrow keys to move the pen carriage.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the cutting mat, make sure to set the media type to SHEET
when using sheet media. Whenever possible, use sheet media of rectangular
shape.
To load sheet media:
• Lower the media set lever to
raise the pinch rollers.
• Load the media in the plotter. Use
the yellow markings to locate the
grit rollers. Place the media so
that its edges align with the grit
rollers.
• Wrap media behind and around
the media alignment shaft. While
keeping tension on the vinyl,
adjust the vinyl edges so that
both edges match accurately.
