Adhesive Sheet - GRAPHTEC FC4500 User Manual

PREFACE

Adhesive Sheet

Your plotter comes equipped with an adhesive sheet as an accessory. Before loading general media (e.g.
marking film or self-adhesive paper) in place, paste this adhesive sheet to the writing panel. The adhesive
sheet is a consumable.
Using the adhesive sheet
The adhesive sheet has different adhesive strengths on the surface and reverse side. Use the side with high
adhesive strength for pasting the sheet to the writing panel, and the side with low adhesive strength for fixing
the media in place.
Pasting the adhesive sheet
When pasting the adhesive sheet, follow the procedure described below.
(1) Remove the protective film from the white side of the adhesive sheet.
(2) Paste the adhesive sheet to the plotter's writing-panel surface, taking care to prevent the formation of
bubbles.
(3) Remove the protective film from the yellow side of the adhesive sheet.
Precautions on use of the adhesive sheet
When loading media for creasing/scoring, remove the adhesive sheet and paste the adhesive mat in its
place.
For some media (e.g. those with a smooth surface), the adhesive sheet may be excessively sticky, making
it difficult to remove the medium from the sheet. When attaching such a medium, make sure that only the
circumference of the medium is pasted to the adhesive sheet. (If the middle part of the medium is warped,
lightly press on that part to paste it to the adhesive sheet.)
Conversely, some media may not become fully pasted onto the adhesive sheet. In such a case, fix the
medium in place with, for example, drafting tape.
If the adhesive sheet has lost its adhesive strength
Remove the adhesive sheet from the writing panel and replace it with a new adhesive sheet.
Amount of protrusion of the cutter blade when the adhesive sheet is used
For details on adjusting the amount of blade protrusion, see Section 2.4, "Adjusting the Blade Length".
