Calibrating the Plotter Use the calibrate plotter function to align the marking pen with the
marker cards. If the pen calibration is not set correctly, the printed
text will not be positioned correctly on the marker card.
Note: These procedures assume that the communications cable
between the plotter and computer is connected, all communication
settings have been made, and that the pen has been installed.
To calibrate the plotter:
1. Slide a Spacer (Part No. 42165-188-53) under left and right edges
of the base plate. This will temporarily lift the base plate making
it easier to check the calibration.
Note: Make sure that the spacers do not lift the base plate so high
that the pins are pulled out of the holes.
Note: Spacers must be placed so they do not interfere with the plotter
arm.
