4-2 Plotting on Paper Media -- PEN MODE Key and PEN
MODE LED
The PNC-960/910 is also capable of plotting on paper media using plotter pens made by this company. Before cutting, plotting
using pen and paper can ensure that your design is correct without wasting materials.
* Since the design of the PNC-960/910 differs inherently from that of dedicated plotters, it does not accommodate
functions such as high-speed plotting, automatic pen changes, pen dry protection, or the like.
- If you are using the PNC-960, then start with step 1.
- If you are using the PNC-910, then start with step 2.

Set DIP switch SW-9 to ON (piece). (Refer to "3-2 DIP Switch
Settings".)
Refer to "3-3 Installing/Removing a Blade" and install a pen in
the same way as you would install a blade.
Refer to "3-4 Loading/Removing the Material" and load a
material in the same way as you would load cutting material.
You can load a material with a width (horizontal dimension) of
50 (1-15/16") to 711 (28") mm on the PNC-960, or a material
with a width (horizontal dimension) of 50 (1-15/16") to 406
(16") mm on the PNC-910.

Stopping Plotting on Paper Media
Press the PEN MODE key. The PEN MODE LED is extinguished and the unit returns to the cutting mode.
Remove the pen from the tool carriage and cap it securely.
Pen Replacement
Pens will eventually wear out. Should the tip become rough and produce scratchy lines, try gradually increasing the blade force
(refer to "3-6 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force" ). If smudging occurs even when pen force is increased, or if the pen tip becomes
frayed, replace with a new pen.
