* Please take the following precautions when using plotter:

  • DO NOT TURN OFF the plotter as the plotter goes to sleep itself. This prevents print heads from getting clogged. 
  • DO NOT LIFT UP THE BLUE LEVER unless the plotter menu tells so in order to align the paper. 
  • When paper jam happens, 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 NOT MESS WITH THE PLOTTER as this will cause plotter to malfunction.
