Page 5: Special Precautions On Handling Blades
Special Precautions on Handling Blades Sharp cutter blades are used with this plotter. Handle the cutter blades and holders with care to prevent bodily injury. Cutter Blades Cutter blades are very sharp. While handling a cutter blade or cutter pen, be careful to avoid cutting your fingers or other parts of your body.
Page 6: After Turning On The Plotter
The Caution Label is located on the machine. Be sure to observe all the cautions on the label. Notes on the Stand Be sure to use only the stand designed for the CE7000-130AP with your CE7000-130AP plotter. The use of a different stand may cause a plotter malfunction or bodily injury.
Page 7: Notes On The Paper (Media)
Notes on the paper (media) Please use the paper (media) in accordance with the following precautions. • The paper is sensitive to temperature and humidity, and can start to stretch or contract immediately upon removal from the roll. Cutting/plotting the media immediately after taking it off causes it to stretch and may blur or cause deviations in the images.

If the cutter blade cannot be inserted straight, please insert the cutter blade after pressing the insertion port of the cutter blade several times.
Page 28: Adjusting The Blade Length
Adjusting the blade length Blade length needs to be adjusted to perform optimal cut. Perform few test cuts and set the optimal blade length. CAUTION • To avoid bodily injury, handle cutter blades with care. • It may result in damaging the cutter blade or the cutting mat if the blade is extended too much. Make sure the blade length is set less than the thickness of the media.
