AccuPlot and AccuJet Maintenance
5-14 Plotter Pen Maintenance
Plotter Pen MaintenancePlotter Pen Maintenance
The AccuPlot AP-100 and AP-300 series plotters all use the same pen
cartridge assembly. Maintenance on these assemblies includes cleaning as
necessary, refilling ink reservoirs, and replacing pens. AccuJet AJ-520 plotters
include an inkjet cartridge which should be cleaned whenever the AJ-520 has
been inactive for a period of time, including overnight.
You will need the following equipment to perform basic pen maintenance:
• A clean, soft cloth
• Ink
• Replacement pens or inkjet cartridges
• Pipe cleaner
• Pump or syringe to pressurize pen assemblies
Refilling either of the long life pen assemblies requires that the assemblies be
pressurized to start and maintain the flow of ink to the pen. Procedures for
pressurizing both assemblies are provided.
Read all the steps in each procedure before beginning. Be sure you understand
the steps and that you have all the tools necessary to complete the task.
Note:Note: Pen maintenance requires that you reach into the plotting area. ALWAYS be
sure servos are disabled when working on or near the plotting area of any
plotter.
