1. Pen tip
The pen tip is made of felt material. If an excessive force is added to it, the top of the pen tip will be
crushed making clear printing or tracing impossible.
2. Pen cap
Each pen is provided with a pen cap for preventing drying and protecting the pen tip. Remove and retain
the pen caps before the pen installation.
3. Before stopping recording for long hours
When it is expected that recording will not be executed for a day or more, remove and store the pens by
attaching the pen cap to them. If the pens are left installed while no recording is executed, the ink will stain
the chart paper.
