(27) Press the ENTER key when the measured value is within the specification range (618±18g). Note: When adjusting the pen force, it is important to do it quickly. Delaying the pen force adjustment changes the temperature of the actuator and causes artificially lower readings. When this happens the actual pen force may be higher than the specification. This is especially true for the upper pen force adjustment.
When the X or Y motor was replaced, perform this adjustment. Required jigs • Prepare the following size of Cutting film. FC9000-75 and 100: (Length) 1200 mm x (Width) 762 mm (30 inch) FC9000-140 and 160: (Length) 1200 mm x (Width) 1372 mm (54 inch) If you don't have above width of cutting film, prepare at least 30 inch wider cutting film.
