Page 12: Connection
Connection Before connecting the cable, make sure the computer's power and the DXY's power switch are switched off. Securely connect the power cord, computer I/O cable and so on so that they will not be unplugged and cause failure during operation. The arm and pen carriage move when the unit is switched on and while performing plotting --keep hands and objects away at these times. -
Page 13: Loading The Paper
Loading the Pens *For additional information on pen types (options), refer to "Pens". Load the pens only in the pen stock. Attempting to mount a pen directly in the pen carriage may cause faulty operation. Use only proprietary pens made exclusively for use with the DXY. Failure to do so may result in faulty operation because of differences in pen length. - Page 14 Remove bubbles and wrinkles from the paper by After positioning, turn on the [PAPER HOLD] wiping with a dry cloth. key to secure the paper to the drawing board.

Self-testing The arm and pen carriage move when the unit is switched on and while performing plotting --keep hands and objects away at these times. Self-test Mode A self-test can be carried out to check whether the DXY is functioning correctly. When doing this, the plotter does not have to be connected to the computer. -
Page 16: Downloading Plot Data
Downloading Plot Data Plot data is sent from the host computer (the program) to the DXY and plotted out. Make the settings described below to match the program that you're using. This example describes the general values for output (plotting). If you need detailed information about output methods, please see the documentation for the software you're using. - Page 17 Settings for Communication Parameters Using a serial (RS-232C) cable to connect the DXY with the computer enables the Auto-Protocol function, which makes it unnecessary to set communication parameters on the DXY. About Auto Protocol Because the DXY can automatically determine communication parameters, plotting can be carried out simply by downloading the plot data from the computer.

Page 18: After Plotting
After Plotting 1. Remove the paper. DXY-1350A: Press the [PAPER HOLD] key to release the electrostatic adsorption and remove the paper. DXY-1150A: Remove the paper clip, release the metal strips, and remove the paper. 2. Turn off the DXY. Switch off the power to the DXY. If the plotter will not be used for a long time, the electrical cord should also be unplugged. -
