Plotting On Paper Media - Pen Mode Key And Pen Mode Led - Roland CAMM-1 PNC-950 User Manual

• Plotting on Paper Media — PEN MODE Key and PEN MODE LED
The PNC-950 is also capable of plotting on paper media using plotter pens made by this company. You should use only
thick water-based fiber-tipped pens.
Since the design of the PNC-950 differs inherently from that of dedicated plotters, it does not accommodate functions
such as high-speed plotting, automatic pen changes, pen dry protection, or the like.
Procedure
(1) Set DIP switch SW-9 to ON (piece). (Refer to "4-2 DIP Switch Settings" on page 6)
(2) Refer to "Installing a Blade Holder in the Tool Carriage" on page 7 to install a pen. (In the instructions, read "pen"
for "blade holder.") There is no need to perform an operation test when in the Pen Mode.
(3) Refer to "4-4 Loading the Sheet" on page 8 to load a piece of paper in the same way as for loading a sheet. Paper
with a width (horizontal dimension) between 50 mm (1-15/16") and 610 mm (24") can be loaded.
(4) Press the PEN MODE key.
(5) Plotting begins when plotting instructions are sent from the computer.
* Be sure to perform pen plotting only in the Pen Mode.
Stopping Plotting on Paper Media
Press the PEN MODE key. The PEN MODE LED is extinguished and the unit returns to the cutting mode.
Remove the pen from the tool carriage and cap it securely.
Pen Replacement
Pens will eventually wear out. Should the tip become rough and produce scratchy lines, try gradually increasing the
blade force (refer to page 13, "4-6 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force"). If increasing the blade force does not help, the
pen should be replaced.
