Page 7: Preparation For Plotting
Preparation for Plotting Prepare for plotting according to l,he following procedure. Installation Install the X Y plotter in as flat a place as possible. Paper setting Magnetic Paper Holding type. Raise the paper holder,and insert the left edge of the sheet of paper. The left edge meets the paper guide.
Page 8 Paper size and plotting area ANSI/A,ANSI/B,ISO/A4 and ISO/A3 sizes are usable in this plotter. Use the dip switch on the rear panel for setting the plotting area for each size of paper. Refer to 8) Setting the dip switch. Set each size of paper according to 2) . The plotting area and ziro point position are different for each size of paper.

Page 11 Kind of paper Coated paper,fine quality paper, and measuring paper are usable. We recommend coated paper that produces minimal ink blurring. Use an oil pen when using a film sheet for an OH P (Overhead Projector). Pen setting Remove the cap,and insert the pen into the pen arm. Insert the pen point into the pen cap,and insert the flange into the pen arm slit.

Page 14 ENTER ENTER KEY • When the "DP "command is received, the ALARM lamp flickers. When the pen is moved to a desired point and the NT E Key is pressed, the ALARM lamp stops flickering and the coordinate value of that point and the pen state are stored in the output buffer of the X —Y plotter.
Page 15 • Pause function. By pressing any of the arrow keys while program is executed, the opera- tion stops temporarily and -the pen returns to the pen—up position. To release the pause mode, press any of the arrow keys again. While the plotter remains in the pause mode, the MANUAL RESET is available.
Page 16 Setting the dip switch Two dip switches are provided on the rear panel. Set them appropriately before turning on the power switch. The SWI determines the communication method of the RS— 232 C interface. The SW2 determines the default value of the character font. The upper side is "...

Page 18: Interface
Interface Interface switching Two interfaces are provided, an 8 —bit parallel Centronics interface and RS—232C interface. These interfaces are automatically switched. The in terface that receives a signal first after the power is turned on is selected. 8—bit parallel interface (conformable to Centronics) O) Control signal ST B ERROR...
