Keyboard panel operating detail
When you turn on the plotter's power, after for a moment, the carriage will
move to right side itself and the green LED on keyboard will light. The LCD
monitor will show the data for speed and pressure. This process is an
initialization of the plotter. On this keyboard, four arrow keys will be used as
speed's key and pressure's key. Those arrow keys have different functions
in different mode. Plotter has two working mode: On Line, Off Line
Receive the data: when you turn on the plotter's power, the green LED on
keyboard will light after a while, we call this mode "ONLINE". On "ONLINE"
mode, the plotter can receive data from computer. (Notice: if you want
to output the data to plotter later, please must return to this mode).
Change speed: on " " mode, if you want plotter’s work quickly, you
can press "S+" key; if you want slowly you can press "S-" key. (Remark: if
the work you want to cut is big, you can select quickly or slowly; if the work
you want to cut is small, you must select slowly. The smaller the less slowly,
because slower means more accuracy).
Change pressure: on " " mode, if you want cutting pressure is
heavier, you can press "P+" key; if you want slighter you can press "P-" key.
(Remark: If you cut thick material you should use a higher pressure, on the
other hand if you cut thin material you should decrease pressure. A new
blade needs much less pressure than an used blade. A high pressure causes
a premature wear of the blade and can break the end of the blade.
If the red LED on keyboard lights, we called " " mode. On this mode,
you can press any arrow key continuously to move the carriage or paper to
everywhere you want it go. Later press "OK" key, a new origin will be defined.
