ensure a more precise plotting.
When you want to plot drawings, move the Pen holder vertically as little as possible. That will
In case of drawings, there may be a shear of about 0.256 mm
(0.01 inch) in the X axis direction. The shear in the Y axis direction may increase to about
1.0% in case of roll paper or 70-micrometer sheet paper and to about 5.0% in case of sheet
paper thicker than 70-micrometers if the pen holder is of ten moved vertically.

The size of the drawing to be plotted is limited in width since the maximum size of the paper to
be used on this plotter is A4.
to create a program for the entire drawing and then specify the part that you want.
If you wish to plot only one part of a drawing, it is sometimes best
It is also
possible to make very large drawings by creating pieces of the drawing on different sheets and then
assembling the sheets to form one large drawing.
If you use this function, you can draw the part of the drawing which will be plotted on the paper
and draw other parts of the drawing as if the pen could move to those parts.
Be careful that the plotting ranges vary according to the type of the paper as is shown below.
In such cases, the scissoring function is useful,

line,
the upper parts of the letters might not be piotted.
In these cases, feed the paper beforehand using the LF
command {instead of the Paper Feed Key) and then run
the plotting instruction.
® Although the scissoring function is useful, you must be
careful when using it. If you make a mistake in creating
the program, the whole drawing may be drawn in the
scissoring area and nothing will show on the paper.
