HP 250 - Changing Sheet Paper

Graphics Devices
Changing Sheet Paper
All of the HP Graphics Plotters are capable of plotting on smooth
surface sheets of paper, smooth so that the ink does not bleed.
HP supplies a broad range of such paper, and others may be used.
Common paper sizes that are
used include:
ISO
A4
-
210 mm x
297 mm
ISO A3
-
297
mm x
420
mm
English
A
8. 5
in.
x 1 1
in.
English B
-
11
in.
x 1 7
in.
Most plotting is done with ISO A4 or English A sizes. The
following procedures are given for these smaller size sheets.
Similar procedures are used for large size sheets on 7220 and
7221 plotters.
Single Pen Plotters:
1. Push the CHART LOAD pushbutton to turn on the CHART LOAD
lamp. This both disables the plotter from the computer
and turns off the electrostatic paper hold.
2. Remove old sheet of paper.
3. Place a new sheet down on the surface. If the sheet has
binder holes along a long edge, PLACE THE HOLES TOWARDS THE
BACK OF THE PLOTTER, away from the front panel controls.
4. Smooth out the paper with the back of your hand.
5. Push the CHART LOAD lamp to turn off the lamp.
NOTE
The plotter RESET button is adjacent to the CHART
LOAD button. If this is accidentally touched
while running the application program, valuable
data may be lost. In addition, care must be used
if you smooth out the paper with the CHART LOAD
lamp off. The single pen HP Graphic Plotters do
not have any other convenient way to be disabled
from the computer. Usually, your application
program will provide safeguards. If so, paper
should be changed only after starting the appli-
cation program.
