Load the media according to the instructions given for each type. Use
the grit roller on the right side of the media (looking from the front) as
a guide when setting it in the media sensor. Afterwards, adjust the
push roller so that it's lined up with the side of the media.
Loading Media (Paper or Marking Film)
Position the left and right push rollers to correspond with the width of
the media. Adjust the push rollers so that they are positioned above
both the media and the grit rollers. Position the push rollers within the
grit roller position guides ensures that they are above the grit rollers.
After setting the Tool/Speed/Force/Acceleration, make test cutting,
and repeat until optimal condition is achieved.
(1) Load the media for test cutting in the plotter.
(2) Press the [COND/TEST] key in the default screen.
The Qe6000 can take media width
of 55 mm or more.
Aligning the Push Rollers
When removing the tool, turn it counterclockwise to remove the tool.
(2) Set the roll media on top of the stock shaft, and then insert the roll
media into the stopper. Once it's set, tighten the stopper's screws.
(3) Push the tip of the roll media forward from the back of the Qe6000.
Make sure to pull it so that there is no slackening across the roll
media's route.
Simple mode/Normal mode
You can use the [SIMPLE] key on the default screen to switch between
Simple mode and Normal mode.
Qe6000 will be reset once when you switch. In Simple mode you can
change easy settings from the menu screen. In Normal mode, you will be
able to change more detailed settings. Simple mode and Normal mode are
independent from one another. The settings of the mode you're currently in
will take precedence.
(4) Press the media lock to engage it, and then pull the leading edge
out of the front of the plotter, making sure that it completely covers
the media sensor.
(5) Position the media and the push rollers to correspond with the
width of the media. The push rollers push down on either side of
the media. Use the grit roller position guide to make sure the push
rollers are set on top of the grit rollers.
(6) Pull the media taut to make sure that there is no slack in the
conveyance path, and then raise the media set lever to lower the
push rollers.
(7) Release the media stopper lock (Pull the sides and slide it forward.)
(8) When the set lever is up (and the media is held down by the push
rollers) and the media stopper is unlocked, pull out the roll media
and give it slack.
