Loading the Media.

  • Raise the lever on the upper back right of the machine
  • Slide in the media. It helps to have a rectangular piece so the machine can recognize the size. Center it over some of the grooved rollers so they are as close to the edges as possible.
  • Slide the pinch rollers from behind over the grooved roller you chose.
  • Lower roller with the lever.
  • Read the display and push the arrow button for the type of media you are loading.


Importing Files.

The software can import a lot of formats, but it is very old, so it needs old versions of the file formats. The software has a Copyright date of 1991-2001. You can use DXF files, but I found the the version had to be a pre 2000 version. I used DXF Rev 12 ASCII format for example. Some formats have not changed in years like HPGL and are good to use.

  • AutoCAD DXF R12 ASCII
  • HPGL
