Brief

Descripfion

The DXY-800

and

DXY-101

~re

compact, lightweight, high

speed

X-V plotters

with

exchangeable

pens

(DXY-800 only)

and

realize excellent cost performance. By connecting a computer,

letters, figures

and

graphs

can

be

drawn easily.

These

plotters

permit much clearer and more accurate drawing

of

pictorial

output

than

is

possible

with

an

ordinary printer.

Some

of

the many outstanding features

of

the

DXY-800

and

DXY-101

are

as

follows.

1.

Compact

and

lightweight.

Can

be

installed vertically (60°).

A more compact, lightweight design

has

been

realized over

conventional models,

with

a

width

of

496mm,

a depth

of

435mm, a height

of

77mm

and

a weight

of

4.1

kg

(DXY-

800

unit

only).

In addition, vertical installation

is

possible

by using the accessory stand. This allows the

unit

to

be

freely installed

in

any location.

2.

An

abundance

of

functions

are

provided

and

control

commands

are

simple.

A wide variety

of

command functions

such

as

vectors,

characters

and

graphics are available, along

with

replaceable

pens,

as

standard features. In addition,

such

items

as

circles,

arcs

and

hatching

can

be

drawn just

as

you desire.

What

is

more, control commands

are

simple using BASIC.

3.

Pen

movement permits drawing in

0.1

mm steps and paper

up

to

420 mm by 297 mm

can

be

used.

Since

pen

movement

is

in

0.1

mm steps, coordinate designa-

tion

or

calculation in the program

are

simple. In addition,

recording papers smaller than 420mm x297mm

can

be

used.

4. Felt

tip

pens

can

be

used.

In addition

to

eight special color pens, by using the

acces-

sory

pen

holder,

felt

tip

pens

can

be

used. Depending on

the condition

of

the

pen

used, drawing

speed

can

be

switched between

two

settings (180mm/sec and 90mm/sec).

5.

Easy

to

connect

to

a computer.

Simple connection

is

possible

for

a computer which

'is

connectable

to

a printer having standard Centronics specifi-

cations. In addition, RS-232C specifications interface

is

available.

6. AC adapter system power supply

Equipment stability and safety

have

been

improved

by

separating the

DC

pack power supply system

from

the

unit.

A hook hole

is

provided

to

allow the pack

to

be

hung on a

wall.

2.

The

following

accessories

are

packed in the box

of

the

DXY-800

or

DXY-1 01, along

with

the

plotter

unit.

Be

sure

to

check that

all

of

the required accessories

are

in the packing box

prior

to

Installation

Use

•

Place

the

unit

on a flat, stable stand

or

install vertically (60°)

using the accessory stand.

• Avoid locations where the

unit

will

be

exposed

to

direct

sun-

light, high temperature environments,

and

dusty

or

humid

locations.

• Do not

use

in a location which

has

heavy vibration

or

in

noisy environments.

• Since the power supply (AC adapter) generates heat when

used,

place in a location suitable to heat dissipation

(a

location having good ventilation).

• Insure that the power supply cord

and

computer

input/

output

cables

are

installed in

such

a manner

as

to

prevent

accidents

or

disconnection while in

use.

•

When

connecting

with

a computer,

be

sure

to perform

an

operation check (Refer

to

page

8 ) to

confirm

that there are

no abnormalities.

• Prior

to

turning power on,

set

the

pen

carriage

to

the lower

left.

If

not

set

in this position,

not

only will the most

effective drawing

range

not

be

obtained,

but

with

the

DXY-

800,

it

will

not

be

possible

to

exchange

pens.

• Do

not

block the ventilation openings on this

unit

or

place

items over the AC adapter,

After

using

or

when

not

using

• In order

to

prevent

ink

evaporation, when not using the pens,

cover them

with

the

caps

or

put

them in the penstock

(DXY-

800).

• When

not

using the

unit,

be

sure to remove the power supply

plug from the outlet.

•

When

not

using the

unit,

remove the

pen

from

the

pen

clip

and

pen carriage.

Other 4

• Never lubricate any

of

the mechanical parts.

• Never place heavy objects on the drawing board

or

allow

it

to

become

scrat<;hed.

• Do

not

apply strong force

to

the arm

or

carriage

and

avoid

impact.

•

If

the drawing board or the X rail cover

are

stained, clean

them Iightly

with

cloth using neutral detergent.

• Do

not

move the arm or carriage manually after

tuming

power on.

How

Fig. 12

Align the disc

portion

of

the accessory

pen

holder containing

the special pen

with

the guide

portion

of

the

pen

carriage

or

pen

clip and insert gently.

• Installing a

felt

tip

pen

in the

pen

holder

Use

a high

quality

pen which

has

an

outside diameter

of

9.5mm

or

less

and a weight

of

7g

or

less.

The standard distance between the

tip

of

the pen

and

the

recording paper

is

2mm, however, this varies depending on

the

type

and

shape

of

the pen. Therefore,

it

is

alright

if

the

distance

is

a

little

greater

or

smaller. Install using the

follow-

ing procedure.

1.

Turn the

top

portion

of

the

pen

holder counterclockwise

to

loosen

it.

2.

Load a pen

and

gently

turn

the

top

portion

of

the

pen

holder clockwise

to

secure the pen.

3. Install in the

pen

carriage, adjust the wick length

and

tighten

by

turning the

top

portion

of

the

pen

holder clock-

wise and secure the pen.

For the

DXY-800

and

DXY-101, the position

of

the

pen

when

the power

is

turned on becomes the drawing

point

of-origin

(home'position, coordinates 0,0). Drawing

is

only

performed

to

the right and above that

point

of

origin.

Because

of

this,

prior

to

turning power on,

be

sure

to

set

the

position

of

the

pen

to

the lower left.

If

not

set

correctly, the

maximum

effective

drawing

area

cannot

be

obtained and,

with

the

DXY-800,

pen

exchange

will

not

be

possible.

Prior

to

turning power on,

be

sure

to

manually

set

the position

of

the

pen

carriage

to

the lower left.

• When setting manually,

be

sure

to

avoid

applying too much

pressure on the

pen

carriage

or

moving

too

quickly.

• Do not

move

the arm

or

carriage manually while the power

is

on.

•

DXY-800

and DXY-101

are

different

in drawing

area,

Be

sure

to

use

the stand when using the

DXY-800

or

DXY-101

in a vertical position (600

).

Attach

the stand

to

the long slots on the back

of

the plotter.

Take the following precautions when using the

plotter

in a

vertical position.

•

Be

sure

to

place on a flat, stable surface.

• Do

not

apply excessive pressure on the surface

of

the

plotter

or

on the stand.

Main Computer Connection

In this example, we will explain

how

to

connect

an

APPLE

II,

IBM-PC, TRS-80. Basically,

if

a computer

is

available which

has

standard Centronics specifications

input/output

terminals

for

print'3r connection, the

DXY·800

and

DXY-101

can

be

connected

to

the printer connector

without

modification.

In

the

case

of

other types

of

computers, refer

to

the printer

connection section

of

the operation manual

for

the respective

computer

and

make the connection accordingly.

After

connection, place the

DXY-800

or

DXY-101

in

the

PRINTER mode (Refer

to

page

21) and when a computer-to-

printer

print

command

is

sent,

if

correct

printout

is

made

by

the

plotter,

then the

DXY-800

or

DXY-101

is

connected

correctly.

• APPLE

II,

lie

(Apple)

Use

a parallel printer interface card (Roland D G APPLE II

parallel interface board

or

APPLE A2B0002). By using this

card, data transfer similar

to

a printer

is

possible using

PR#n command.

Perform connection

as

shown Fig 14.

• TRS-80

(Tandy)

A Tandy Radio Shack expansion interface (Catalog No. 26-

26-1140-1) and a cable

are

required when connecting the

DXY-800

or

DXY-101

to

a TRS-80.

Use

a Tandy Radio Shack cable (Centronics specifications)

or

make

your

own by closely following the specifications

outlined in the expansion interface manual and on

P.

10

(2)-(1)

of

this manual.

• IBM-PC (IBM)

An

IBM monochrome

monitor/printer

interface card

and

a

cable

are

required when connecting the DXY-800

or

DXY·101

to

an

IBM-PC.

Use

an

IBM printer cable.

When

operating the

DXY-800

or

DXY-101 using IBM-

BASIC (BASIC

A),

a "Device Time Out

Error"

may occur.

In

this

case,

the printer BUSY signal will become HIGH

level

and

an

error

message

is

output.

Refer

to

the note on

P.

22 concerning the IBM-PC, and the sample program on

P.26.
