3
Slide the material and the sliding sprocket to reach the fixed sprocket
and place the material over these sprocket pins.
4
Center the bail arms over the sprockets. Move the adjustable bail arm at
the rear of the plotter slightly forward or backward to accommodate
small differences in the material width. Securely close the front bail arm
first and then the rear bail arm.
Helpful hints
ƒ
When you change materials, open the bail arms and roll the material back
onto the roll. Tape the ends securely to prevent the roll from unraveling.
ƒ
Before unrolling vinyl for a job, determine how much material you need.
Check the length of the longest line in the job, or the width of an
automatically laid out sign or digitized design. Remember that if you are
plotting in the Axis Swap mode, you need to consider the height of the
job rather than its width.
ƒ
The most practical way to unroll material for a job is to use the slew keys
on the plotter. It is best to unroll more than enough material, rather than
"just enough," in case your estimate is not accurate. You may also pull
material from the roll by hand. This may be the simplest method if you
are plotting relatively small jobs.
ƒ
When you have advanced enough material for the job, feed it back
through the plotter, or otherwise position it appropriately according to
the tool start position selected from OMEGA. If you have a large quantity
of material piling up on the table, be sure to arrange the material in loose
accordion folds so it can feed easily. Make sure the material is positioned
to feed straight into the plotter rather than at an angle.
