Loading Plotter Paper
The plotters uses plain, standard weight (50 grams per square meter/35
pounds) writing bond paper rolls.
NOTE:
NOTE: The width of the paper roll affects how easily the roll can be handled. To load a
wide roll may require two people.
You need the following tools to load a new roll of paper:
•
A ¼ inch hex wrench.
•
A roll of paper (unpacked from its carton).
•
A utility knife.
•
An empty cardboard tube to use as the take-up roll. This tube must be
the same length as the supply roll. If you are replacing an empty
supply roll, you can use that as the new take-up roll.
•
Masking tape.
Loading paper requires that you load the new supply roll, load the new take-
up roll, and feed the paper through the paper path. Procedures for loading
paper on the AccuJet begin on page 5-4. Procedures for the AccuPlot 100/300
Series plotters begin on page 5-9.
Read all the steps in each procedure before beginning. Be sure you understand
the steps and that you have all the tools necessary to complete the job.
NOTE:
NOTE: Loading paper requires that you reach across the plotting area. ALWAYS be sure
servos are disabled when working on or near the plotting area of any plotter.
