Troubleshooting
The following describes general troubleshooting. With some corrective mesures, problems
may not be solved depending on the media used. If a problem cannot be solved after per-
forming test printing several times, stop using the plotter.
No. Problems Corrective measures Remarks
1 Black lines occur. 1. Increase the media correction value.
2. Reduce the resistance of lapel bar.
• Reduce the number of lapel bars.
• Change the mount position of the
lapel bar so that the contact angle
of the medium be decreased.
(Refer to the previous page.)
3. Lighten the weight of the feeding
tension bar.
4. Adding the weight of the taking-up
tension bar.
2 White lines occur. 1. Reduce the media correction value.
2. Increase the resistance of the lapel bar.
• Increase the number of lapel bars.
• Change the mount position of the
lapel bar so that the contact angle
of the medium be increased. (Refer
to the previous page.)
3. Adding the weight of the feeding
tension bar.
4. Lighten the weight of the taking-up
tension bar.
3 1. Reduce the resistance of the lapel bar.
• Reduce the number of lapel bars.
• Change the mount position of the
lapel bar so that the contact angle
of the medium be decreased.
(Refer to the previous page.)
2. Lighten the weight of the feeding
tension bar.
4 1. Check whether a thin weak paper
tube or curved one is used.
: Replace the paper core.
2. Change the mount position of the
lapel bar. Refer to the corrective
measures of No.1 (black lines) and
No.2 (white lines).
3. Check whether the fabric is skewing.
:Reset the roll.
4. Check whether the edge of roll is aligned.
: Rewind and reset the roll.
Wrinkles occur on the
medium near the pinch
roller.
Black and white lines
occur at random.
This probrem occurs with
media which shrink when
plotted.
This probrem occurs
mainly with curved media
and media with local
slacks.
This probrem occurs with
media which strech when
plotted.
This probrem occurs
mainly with the media pre-
treatment has not done
evenly, or the media easy
to stretch when pulled.
