While it is online, the plotter is controlled by the computer system sending the
plot data. Online operation requires very little input from you. However,
operating parameter settings and diagnostic tests are done while the plotter is
offline.

The Offline Menu
Plotter offline operations are controlled through the menus displayed on the
control panel. The Offline menu is the first menu to display after the plotter
completes its power-on self tests. The Offline menu is divided into three
sections, called
PAGES
. Press the menu key to move from page to page.
•
Page One options allow you to initialize the plotter, put the plotter online,
adjust the paper position, or move the pen origin.
•
Page Two options allow you to change plotter settings (called parameters).
The Page Two menu also provides access to the Tool Up/Down, Servo
Disable, and Pen Timer functions.
•
Page Three contains three Diagnostics menus used to check plotter
performance. In addition, Page Three provides access to the Download
function, which is used to install firmware updates.
You can return to any previous menu or page by pressing F4-Exit from the
control panel.
Figure 4-1 shows the plotter menu structure.
