DO NOT TURN OFF the plott= er as the plotter goes to sleep itself. This prevents print heads from gett= ing clogged.
DO NOT LIFT UP THE BLUE L= EVER unless the plotter menu tells so in order to align the paper.
When paper jam happe= ns, please find DMC professional staff members for troubleshooting. DO NOT = lift up the lever and try to fix it yourself.
Please follow the following paper load/unload instruction. DO N=
OT MESS WITH THE PLOTTER as this will cause plotter to malfunction. =
span>
Note that the plotter goes to sleep mode if not being used f=
or a while. To wake up the plotter, press the menu key on the plotter, the =
plotter will start "initializing mechanics" . Wait till the initialization =
process is finished and the plotter is at the "Ready" screen, then start to=
load/unload paper roll.
What happened when a segment of a poster is missing (i.= e. not printed on the poster) after printing?
Sometimes if a PD= F file is generated with PowerPoint on PC, and you use Preview on Mac to pr= int, some text boxes on the PDF file may not print. Some label text boxes m= ay appear while they don't exist in the original PDF. In this situati= on, use Adobe Acrobat, the file should print out fine then.It is hard to judge when the streaks would happen to what file. However, i=
f it is humid outside, and patron wouldn=E2=80=99t mind switching to semi-g=
lossy, we would encourage patron to print on semi-glossy. If patron insists=
on canvas, then give it a try and have patron monitor the printing process=
closely, as soon as the streaks is found, cancel the print job.
When a new roll of semi-glossy paper is being loaded, = the plotter would ask for paper information, such as paper type and length.= The new roll is 100 feet long, as long as we input this information correc= tly the first time you load the new roll, then plotter should be able to ke= ep track of how much has been used, thus would print available length on th= e paper each time the roll is being unloaded. If there is not enough paper = left, the plotter would let you know and would not print the current job un= til you load enough paper.
However, if no paper length information is= found whatsoever, the plotter would keep plotting until the paper runs out= . This is frustrating and wastes our ink. To avoid this problem: 1) try to = input the paper length info correctly every time you load the new roll ; 2)= if this info is unavailable for the current roll, then use your own judgem= ent and see if there is enough paper on current roll for heavy continuous p= lotting job, if not, load a new roll. Ink costs more than paper, so better = to discard the paper than waste the ink in this case.
Since the plott= er cannot cut the canvas, thus it cannot print paper information on the can= vas like the barcode on semi-glossy paper, therefore, there is no way to de= termine the paper length left on the current roll. Please use your own judg= ement to see whether the roll has enough paper for upcoming plotting job.= p>
