Running The Self Test - GRAPHTEC CUTTING PRO FC3100-60 Service Manual

2.4 Running the Self Test

Your plotter is provided with a self test function that enables it to check its own functions. Because a
correctly drawn self test pattern signifies that all of the functions of the plotter (excluding the interface
settings) have been tested and found normal, this function is useful for determining whether the source of
a problem lies in the plotter itself or in the connection between the plotter and computer.
Warning : The pen starts moving as soon as the SELF TEST mode is selected by pressing the [ 2 ] key
(YES).
To avoid injury to yourself and damage to the plotter, keep your hands, face, and other
obstacles out of the vicinity of the cutting mat and paper.
Procedure
Replace the cutter pen at the pen carriage's pen holder with a platter pen and load paper in the plotter.
