Press the key in LOCAL mode to select the
printing-with-a-pen condition.
2
Press the key.
• The screen returns to LOCAL mode.
• The device performs the tool switching operation. (The carriage
moves to the left edge and returns to the original position.)
3

• The display is changed to the remote mode.
4
Download data from the host computer.
• When data is received, plotting operation is started.
• Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the roll sheet.
The sheet can be affected by the room temperature and humidity, and thus it may expand and
contract. Before cutting (plotting), using the pre-feed function, acclimate the sheet to the work
environment enough.
• The current tool condition (cutting condition or plotting condition) is displayed on the
screen.
• When the plotting condition (PEN) is currently displayed, you do not have to select the
plotting condition. Perform the operation from the Step 3.
• When the sheet may clog up during plotting, perform the following procedures:
(1) Move the clamp lever to front and downward to quit the operation.
(2) Remove the clogged sheet and reset the roll sheet.
(3) Send the data to be plot from the host computer.
