2 Precautions on Operation
Observe the following precautions for safe operation.
I) Avoid operating or storing the X—Y plotter in a place exposed to direct
sunlight or near a device
generating heat.
2) Avoid operating the X—Y
plotter in a dusty or humid place.
3) Avoid operating the X—Y
plotter in a place with extreme mechanical
vibration or electrical noise.
4) Don't put heavyobjectson the X—Y plotter or lean on your arm or
elbow on it.
5) Install the X
—Y
plotter in as flat a placeas possible.
6) Don
't put a magnetic disc, card, or tape on the X—Y plotter, or these
magnetic productsmay malfunction.
7) Connect the power cable and the interface cable securely. A poor
connectionmay cause a malfunction.
8) Disconnect the power cable when the X—Y plotter is not used for a
long time.
9) Auto pen cap is providedto preventdrying of the pen point. After
operation,remove the penfrom the pen arm and cap it.
10) Don't lubricate mechanical parts. This may cause problems.
11) Use alcohol to remove ink stains from the paper setting table.
Neveruse an organic solventsuch as a thinner.
Special cautions for Electrostatic Paper Holdingtype.
I ) Electrostatic absorption plate is fitted with electrodes. So, sharp or
edged devices shouldnot be used on the plate in order to protectthe
built—in electrodesfrom beingdamaged. Putting heavy itemson the
plate should also be restrained.
2) Surface of the plastic plate shouldbe free from any dirts, otherwise
absorption power will weaken.
If the surface becomes dirty, sweep a brush over the plate and wipe the
dirt off with a wet cloth.
Water or alcohol is recommended to wet the cloth. Organic solvent
like thinner, however, should not be used to prevent the plastic plate
from deterioration.
3) When
transparency film is used as plottingpaper, pleasenoteit is not
so suitable for electrostatic absorption.
