Brand: Type:

Size:

(plot size = film size - max 0.1” at left/right/bottom and 0.8” at top)

Plotter room must be completely finished before the installation starts

(requirements see above); plotter is to be unpacked by the ‘Barco’ engineer,
otherwise warranty is void.

Crate is to be returned.

If at installation time (engineer is on site) it appears the site is not completely

ready, contradictory to what the customer told/promised, all extra costs (lost time,
return to finish installation) will be charged to the customer.

Remote diagnostics

on Plotter 8xx Series

All Barco plotters in the 8xx series (i.e. SILVERWRITER 8XX, BG 748xx, BG
758xx and BG 768xx) are delivered with a modem. When ordering, be sure
the customer’s choice is indicated: either the

analog modem (code 966208)

ISDN modem (code966209).

REMARKS:
Enough space around machine ? Also to open drawer ?

……………………………

Be sure that the film can go through the developer !
