Loading the Take-Up Shaft
Caution: Never touch the take-up key or flanged coupling while
they are rotating. Serious personal injury could result.
1. Turn on power to the plotter.
2. If the take-up shaft has plotted markers on it, remove them. See Unload-
ing Completed Markers later in this section for details.
3. Rotate the take-up key with the Roll arrow keys until it is oriented per-
pendicular to the support block opening as shown below.
4. If rolling up more than 42 yards on the take-up shaft (model 600Ae only),
install the paper guide flanges. Make sure the hub with the thumbscrew is
on the outside of the flange.
5. Put the take-up shaft into the front support blocks with the flanged cou-
pling at the right (keypad) end.
6. Rotate the shaft until the slot in the flanged coupling is aligned with the
take-up key. When the shaft slot and the key are aligned, push the take-
up shaft into place until it is seated in the support block.
