Verifying Plotter Operation
The plotters contain several types of internal operational checks and tests to ensure that the
plotter is properly functioning and to help identify problems if any are detected.
PowerĆOn SelfĆTests
Whenever you switch the plotter on, it automatically performs a series of internal selfĆtests
and mechanical initialization sequences. If a failure occurs, an error is indicated on the
frontĆpanel LEDs. You can perform a failure analysis by interpreting the LED error code.
(Details ' chapter 8.)

which is resident in the plotters. This plot shows different plotter capabilities including pen
line widths and shading. You can set the demonstration plot, to plot in any of the languages
listed in the
