Before
you
start
plotting,
make
sure
that
drum
is
in
its
initial
position
(white
arrow
on
the
left
side
of
the
drum
should
be
aligned
with
white
arrow
on
the
top
of
the
left
holder
of
the
drum).
After
you
prepared
your
data
for
plotting
on
connected
PC
using
photoplotter
software,
start
plotting
‐
see
further
info
.
The
photoplotter
drum
starts
slowly
to
rotate.
After
drum
reaches
its
working
speed,
it
rotates
a
while
before
actual
plotting
starts.
At
this
moment
red
(or
yellow)
LED
labelled
Laser
starts
to
light
as
an
indicator
that
plotting
is
in
progress.
When
photo
‐
plotting
is
finished
or
interrupted
by
STOP
command,
drum
automatically
stops,
laser
head
moves
back
to
its
outgoing
position
and
LED
labelled
Laser
stops
light.
Time
needed
for
photo
‐
plotting
of
given
image
is
displayed
on
computer
in
dialog
window
of
control
software
.
Do
not
start
plotting
again
before
the
laser
light
head
reaches
completely
its
initial
position
(the
left
side
of
the
screw)!
Note
:
Because
various
films
used
for
photo
‐
plotting
are
differently
sensitive
to
light,
it
is
possible
to
adjust
intensity
of
laser
light
as
needed
in
photoplotter
software,
also
in
respect
to
selected
resolution.
This
setting
may
also
be
needed
to
adjust
time
after
time
to
reflect
the
status
of
chemicals
used
for
film
wet
processing.
Open
the
lid
(dark
green
light!!!)
and
remove
film.
Process
film
immediately.
Note:
After
removing
film
from
drum
surface,
it
may
be
necessary
to
clean
the
drum
surface
to
remove
sticky
areas
caused
by
sticky
tape.
Use
soft
cloth
and
common
liquid
cleaner.
Do
not
spray.
Drum
surface
under
film
must
be
kept
clean
and
dry
.
ATTENTION!

that
is
harmful
to
human
eye.
Do
not
open
photoplotter
lid
during
photo
‐
