Installing a Pen
Figure 3-11.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each pen being replaced.
9. Close the plotter window. When “Load media to align pens” is displayed, load good
quality media into the plotter. Special paper must be used to properly align the color
pens. The pen alignment procedure takes about three minutes to complete.
Note
The plotter tests the pens to ensure proper operation. The test runs approxi-
mately one minute and the display indicates the pens being tested. After test-
ing, the pen alignment procedure is automatically performed. Allow the
alignment procedure to complete before resuming normal plotter operation.
SELECTABLE INK-DRYING TIMES
User-selectable ink-drying times are available on the DesignJet 650C plotters through the
front panel menus. Dry time determines how long the plotter waits before cutting the plot.
Users should be cautioned that insufficient dry time can result in plot smearing as plots are
stacked in the media bin. Dry time choices are accessible through the Plotter setup menu.
