Moisture on the Plotter/Printer

Users should use the plotter in an environment between 5% and 95% relative humidity. To

recover from moisture condensation, turn the plotter off, and, using the main roller as a

reference, wait until the plotter is completely dry before using it again. (Other environmental

specifications ' chapter 2.)

Noisy Carriage Bushing

To prevent noisy movement of the carriage, remove aluminum or dust particles from the

bushing at the backof the carriage, and from the slider path along which the bushing moves.

Belt Swelling

To prevent new belts from swelling incorrectly, keep them in their bags with dissicant until

you need to install them.

Cleaning the Plotter

To maintain the plotter in good operating condition, keep it free of dust accumulation, ink,

and other contamination. Cleaning intervals are determined by the plotter environment and

by the types of plotter supplies used.

Disconnect the plotter from the power source prior

to performing any cleaning. DO NOT allow liquid to

run on to electrical components or circuits, or

through openings in the enclosure, as this can

create a shock hazard leading to death or injury.
