Slew Keys
Use the left and right slew keys to unroll material before
plotting, to position the tool for plotting, and to position the
carriage and material between jobs.
♦
Press the up or down slew keys to move the carriage
between the rear and the front of the plotter.
♦
Press the left or right slew keys to rotate the drum
and feed material through the plotter or back toward the
roll holder.
Slow key
Use the SLOW key to access slow slew mode. Slow slew mode
moves the platen or tool one step at a time, which simplifies
precise registration of artwork produced by the GERBER
EDGE
™
. In normal or slow mode, the platen or tool moves
continuously as long as the arrow keys are pressed.
To use the slow slew feature
1
Press the SLOW key to select slow slew mode. You will hear a single
beep indicating the plotter is in slow slew mode. When you press an
arrow key, the platen or tool will move a single step at a time. When
you press an arrow key, the drum or carriage will move at a very slow
speed as long as you hold the key down.
2
Press the SLOW key again to return to normal mode. You will hear two
beeps indicating the plotter is in normal slew mode. When you press an
arrow key, the platen or tool will move continuously as long as you
hold the key down.
Note: The arrow and SLOW keys do not function during the following
conditions:
„
while a job is plotting

during an error condition
„
if a RUN light is on, even if the plotter is idle .
