Hey everyone. So, my plotter is not working.
Usually you put the sheet in, you push the lever back and it asks you leaf or roll. Well, that won't come up.
I've turned it off and on and unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it isn't working. Is there still a way to plot? Because I can't seem to figure a way around it and I can't plot.

If the display is working otherwise, but not registering the pressure roller arm when you lower it I would look for the sensor that senses that pieces location and see if it is dirty or broken.

Yes, either that, or the sensor that tells it the pressure rollers are down, mightn't have registered that they're down, yet. There's be a limit switch of a sort to tell it that it's ready to give you the next signal.

Hey thanks for the reply! An engineer who works in the building came down to look at it for me. The lever was broken off the swtich that I assume was the sensor telling the machine the rollers are down.

Good- well done.
