2.12 Plotting on Paper Media
The PNC-1900/1600 can use plotter pens available from Roland DG Corporation to make plots on paper. This
can conveniently be used to check the drawing before performing actual cutting.
Please use the water-based fiber tipped pen pens included with the PNC-1900/1600, or any of the 32 colors
of special color pens or thick water based fiber tipped pens that are optionally available. Use of high-quality
paper is recommended.
The PNC-1900/1600 does not have the various advanced drawing functions available on a plotter.
If this message appears, and it is necessary to change the width or color of the pen or even the tool itself,
replace the pen in the tool carriage with the appropriate tool.
If replacement is not necessary, press the [ PAUSE ] key. Plotting continues, using the conditions for the
displayed tool number.
* When making output using something other than cutting software, a pen change instruction sent from the
computer to the PNC-1900/1600 causes the following message to appear on the display, and the tool
carriage moves to the lower left of the cutting table and stops.
Caution
• When securing the paper in place, be careful not to touch the adhesive sheet. Not only will
this make it hard to peel off, but it may also cause the paper to tear.
• Be sure to use the pen plotting conditions described in step 4 of the operation procedure.
If tool force is set too high, the cutting table and pen may be damaged.
