HELPFUL HINTS
! When you change materials, open the bail arms and roll the material
back onto the roll. Tape the ends securely to prevent the roll from
unraveling.
! Before unrolling vinyl for a job, determine how much material you
need. Check the length of the longest line in the job, or the width of
an automatically laid out sign or digitized design. Remember that if
you are plotting in the Axis Swap mode, you need to consider the
height of the job rather than its width.
! The most practical way to unroll material for a job is to use the slew
keys on the plotter. It is best to unroll more than enough material,
rather than "just enough," in case your estimate is not accurate. You
may also pull material from the roll by hand. This may be the
simplest method if you are plotting relatively small jobs.
! When you have advanced enough material for the job, feed it back
through the plotter, or otherwise position it appropriately according
to the tool start position selected from GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE.
If you have a large quantity of material piling up on the table, be
sure to arrange the material in loose accordion folds so it can feed
easily. Make sure the material is positioned to feed straight into the
plotter rather than at an angle.
