■ The ink leaks from refillable or disposable ink pens
Possible cause Solution
Has the pen's tip come loose from the plunger? Securely mount the tip to the plunger using the method
described in section 4.1, “Types and Features of Pens.”
Is the plotter installed in a stable environment? When the temperature and humidity rise, the air in-
side the ink reservoir may expand and cause the ink
to leak. Use the plotter in a location subject to mini-
mal fluctuations in the ambient environment.
Are you storing the pens with their tips pointing Leakage may be caused by the ink's self weight or by
downward? changes in the storage environment (temperature, hu-
midity). When a refillable or disposable ink pen is not
in use, remove it from the pen station, attach its pen
cap, and store it with its tip pointing upward.
