- Antivirus programs are not recommended to be installed on the computer, because
it might cause the plotter to malfunction.
- Other damages that can be caused by the antivirus programs regarding the plotter:
o it may cause incorrect transfer data from the computer
o the marker can be drawn discontinue, with horizontally and vertically
gap,
o the pieces from the drawn marker might be drawn resized
In case you will need, for some reasons, to install an Antivirus, you will have to
uncheck the option for the background scan of the computer activity.
- The CST of the computer’s serial port must be functional.
- If the computer does not have a serial port an USB to serial port adapter must be
used; the adapter must work with RTS and CTS.

Plan
- Place the main frame of the machine on the up side of the pillars and fix it with
bolts.
- The recovering and the feeding paper reels spindle will be mounted with one side
on the engine couple and with one side on the stand supports.
- Plug the sensor jack from the girder of lower bracket and the engine jack on the
connecting machines frame, than plug the power jack of the machines frame to the
plotter. The label from the plug jack must match to the label from the socket jack.
- Make sure the plotter is leveled using a level measuring instrument. If the plotter is
not leveled adjust it by screwing up the reels bolts, or by unscrewing them.
- Plug the serial wire jack in the plotter jack and fix it using bolts;
- The other serial wire jack will be plugged in the computer port and it will be fixed
with bolts.
Chapter 3:
Plotter charging
- The power cable must be plugged in a socket which has reliable ground conductor.
- The power in the cable must not vary more than 5%;
- To prevent power variation use a UPS source of minimum 500w.
- Be sure that the On/Off button is in the off position before you plug in the charging
cable.
- Turn on the plotter. The display will be activated and you will be able to see the
following message: “Welcome to use CAD Plotter”, in the mean time the pen will
go in the park position on the right side of the plotter. After about 5 seconds the
plotter status message “LEAVE”, the writing speed and the pen pressure will be
displayed.
If you turn off the plotter from the back side button, before you turn it on again you
will have to wait for about 10 seconds.
Power variations might cause important plotter damages.
We recommend connecting both plotter and computer in the same socket.
As long as the plotter is plugged in, do not connect the serial wire to the computer.
First unplug the plotter and then connect the wire to the computer, and after that you
may turn the plotter back on.

How to mount the paper
5.1 How to arrange the paper roll on the feed paper reel
spindle:
- First stop the charging voltage;
- Insert the feed paper reel spindle in the paper roll;
- Fix the conical jacks using the blockage bolts and make sure that there is no axial
clearance. Before start fixing the conical jacks make sure that you have the same
distance on both sides between the end of bar and the end of roll.
- Mount the paper roll with the feed paper reel spindle inside, on the back side
plotter hangers, first on the engine side and then on the opposite side.
To be sure that the paper roll is well placed take a look in section from engine
side and make sure that the paper unfolds counter clock wise.

User guide – Plotter Flexipen 120/165
Plan
5.2 How to fix paper on the recovering paper reel spindle:
- Bring up all pressing wheel using the up/down levers on the top back side of the
plotter.
- Pass the paper between the pressing wheel and the contact surface, and unfold it
till reaches the recovering bar;
- Bring down the pressing wheel using the up/down levers.
- Stick the paper on both sides of the recovering paper reel spindle using adhesive
paper band. Stick laterally the adhesive paper band to remove easily the paper
from the recovering paper reel spindle.
- Keep paper at the middle of the recovering paper reel spindle with the right hand
and with the left hand keep tight the paper roll from the feed paper reel spindle;
- Roll on 3-4 coil on the recovering paper reel spindle, and make sure that the paper
is not wrinkled and that is evenly stretched;
- Mount the slide bars in the guiding places to keep the paper tight;
- Switch on the button from the connections machine frame;
- Switch on the power;
- The feed paper reel spindle will automatically feed till the paper gets right in front of
the paper placement sensor;
- At this moment the paper is fully loaded.
Do not use wet paper, unsmooth paper, or which has unstraight ends.
Use only smooth paper, of 40 ÷ 100g/m² and the weight cannot be more than
30Kg.

Writing head
The writing head is a mobile set which contents a refill device.
6.1 Refill device:
The writing device contents an ensemble which carries a refill. It will be fixed in the
printing head (dolly) with a bolt.
To mount the device you will have to loosen the blockage bolt till you can open the
case. Insert the writing device into the suitable place and then close the case and lock
it with the blockage bolt. (See the picture).
11
User guide – Plotter Flexipen 120/165
Plan
6.2 How to put on the refill inside the device:
To put on the refill you will have to unscrew the device as you can see in the above
picture.
6.3 How to put on the 3 ml “JUMBO” refill inside the device:
For the writing head you can also use a special 3 ml refill, which may be placed
directly in the case without the writing device. The advantage for using this kind of refill
is the fact that it lasts more than the others - you can print with one “JUMBO” refill for
about 500m. Another advantage would be the fact that you don’t have to supervise the
plotter all the time, which must be done when you use a common refill and you know
that it depletes very quickly.
This type of refill is very easy to use. Mount the refill according to the picture
below; ensure that between the refill and the paper remains about 1.5 mm. Then
adjust the pen pressure to about 250÷300g. Test the refill writing possibilities using the
“Test” key; the test must be applied on all paper width. If the writing test is not
successful readjust the pen pressure or rearrange the refill position.
If you try to change the refill during plotting you may affect the plotting quality
because you may change the position of the writing head by accident. We recommend
you to change the refill in the LEAVE state.

In this menu you set data on the width of the plotting paper, options for the
optimization of the plotting (to divide PLT into stripes, stripe width), pen range
optimization.
Stripe optimization: if the setting „Optimize PLT for pen plotting” is checked
the plotter will draw stripes at the sated width in the field „Stripe width”. In this way you
can avoid some inconveniences such as: excessively rolling the paper back and forth,
or paper wrinkling. If you don’t check this option, the plotter will roll paper back and
forth for all marker length; you will have to make sure and roll out enough paper for the
length of the drawing.
The recommended optimization stripe length is approximately 250 mm.
Optimize plotting path: if checked, the pen path is optimized to use the
shortest path without empty courses.
Plotter parameters: this is where you set the serial port where you can
connect the plotter to the computer and communication settings of the plotter with the
computer.

7.2.4 Plotter calibrate
In Flex Pen 120/180 Serial Garments menu from General settings there is a
Calibrate button used to calibrate the plotter. You have to calibrate the plotter in the
next cases:
- the first time you plot
- after you mount the plotter
- each time when you observe differences between plotted files and files
from project.
If you click on this button a new window called „Calibrate plotter”will open
Follow the specified steps in the window „Plotter calibrate” in the indicated order.
Insert the plotted paper size (in mm) in the „Length” and „Width” boxes.
For an exact measurement we recommend you detach the paper from the plotter
and measure it on a flat surface.
After inputting the measured data, plot the file once again and re-check the
accuracy of the plotting. If the newly measured dimensions are correct, the plotter is
calibrated and it is ready to plot.
To learn more about using program consult the Gemini PLT Spooler user
guide.

7.2.5 Plotting
In order to start plotting you must follow the following steps:
- Connect the serial cable on both: computer and plotter.
-
Make sure that the power is off in both computer and plotter when connecting
the serial cable. Otherwise the plotter and the computer might be seriously
damaged.
Connect the serial cable on both: computer and plotter. Turn on the plotter from the
On/Off button;
- Test the refill using Test button, in different positions on the paper width. If the refill
doesn’t write properly change the pen preassure and the up/down position (only for
„Jumbo” refill).
- Set the drawing origin using „Location” button. The plotter will automatically pass
into the Connect state, and now you’re ready to plot;
- Open the main window of the Gemini PLT Spooler program by double clicking on
its icon placed in system tray;
- Select the file waiting to beplotted ;
- Click on the Disconnected plotter button. The plotter starts to plot and you can
see on Gemini PLT Spooler the message Plotter connected. Above this button
you will see the data transmission progress bar.
19
User guide – Plotter Flexipen 120/165
Plan
We recommend you to do not use other applications while the computer transfers
dates to the plotter (while the progress bar is still active). Otherwise the computer may
loose dates or freeze the plotter.
- The progress bar disappears after transfer datas ends, the button becomes
unactve and on it appears a new message: Disconnected plotter.
- The plotter plots until the end of the file.
The speed of the transfer data is greater than the speed of the plotting. This is
why the plotter still plots after the progress bar disappears.
Chapter 8:
Maintenance
8.1 Lubricating
Clean and lubricate the contact surface between paper and plotter with a soft piece
of fabric oil softened. Do this on each 2 weeks or as many times as it is necessary.
Lubricate the bearings, the jacks feed paper reel spindle and jacks recovering
paper reel spindle using fine oils on each 2 weeks or as many times as it is necessary.
8.2 Cleaning
Clean with alcohol the pressure whiles because during the plotting process
impurities from refill and from paper are deposed on these elements. Do this on each
2 weeks or as many times as it is necessary.You must keep clean the plotter!
8.3 Recalibrate
The plotter must be calibrating once a month, or as many times as it is necessary
(when the plotted files dimensions are different from the project dimensions).
8.4 Check the plotting quality
Each plotted file must be checked (by measuring) before using it in production. If
the measured dimensions are the same with those from the project the marker can be
used in production.
