Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our LP-1020/1020L Black-and-White Raster Plotter (hereafter referred to as “this device”).
This manual explains the overall device operations, functions and operation method under the premise that installation of the device has been completed.
Before using this device, please read the “Safety Precautions” so that you may operate this device safely and correctly. Keep this manual in a place where you can quickly access it at any time.
This device employs either one of the following feeders: 1-roll paper feeder for standard sheet drawings with output up to 2.5 m, or 2-rolls paper feeder for long sheet drawings with output up to 10 m. This manual explains how to use the 2-rolls paper feeder devices, but also accomodates the 1-roll paper feeder devices.

Warning
DO NOT touch any of the parts inside the plotter with a "HIGH VOLTAGE" label attached as it may result in electric shock.
DO NOT touch any of the parts inside the plotter with a "HIGH TEMPERATURE" label attached as it may result in severe burns.
DO NOT disassemble or modify the plotter. DO NOT repair the plotter by yourself. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock or other accidents.
DO NOT throw the toner cartridge or waste toner bottle into fire or place them near heat as they could explode or catch fire leading to serious accidents and/or bodily injury.
NEVER use the plotter in a place of extreme humidity or any place where it can possibly be splashed by any liquids. If any liquids get into the plotter, it could lead to fire, electric shock, or other serious accidents.
DO NOT allow metal to touch the internal parts of the plotter. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.
DO NOT disconnect or connect the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may lead to electric shock.
Power OFF the plotter and unplug the power cable from the power outlet in any of the following cases:
When putting your hands inside the plotter.
Smoke, strange noise or smells erupt from the plotter.
A piece of metal or any liquid touches the internal parts or slots of
the plotter.
An error requiring service from a service center occurs.
Using the plotter in any manner other than for which it was designed may cause accidents or fire.
iii
Caution
DO NOT disassemble, modify the toner cartridge. If toner gets on your skin or clothes, wash off the affected area immediately with soap and water.
Handle the toner cartridge with extreme care. Should any toner get into your eyes, do not rub them, flush them immediately with water, and see a physician immediately.
Handle the paper rolls with care because they are very heavy. Dropping them may lead to personal injury.
Use care when cutting the paper rolls with a scissors or knife during installation.
DO NOT unplug the electric cable by pulling on the cable. Doing so may cause the cable to fray or break which could lead to electric shock and/or fire.
In order to ensure the safe operation of the plotter heed all of the cautions and warnings contained throughout this manual.

Features

This device is an electrophotographic black-and-white raster plotter which produces plots by receiving graphic data created by a work station or PC (hereafter referred to as a computer.)
This device is equipped with the following features:
High speed plotting
output, high resolution
2-roll paper feeding
mechanism, long drawing
compatible
This device has 80 mm (3.15 inches)/sec recording speed and can output A0 size drawings at 3.4 sheets per minute. It can also output high accuracy drawings at 600 dpi resolution.
This device employs a 2-roll paper feeding mechanism that sets 2 sizes from a choice of 4 sizes: A0 size (or 36 inch size), A1 (or 24 inch size), A2 (or 18 inch size), and A3 (or 12 inch size). By employing paper rolls compatible with drawing sizes ranging from A0 to A4, a low running cost is achieved by reducing paper consumption. This device can also output 2.5 m / 98.4 inch size (10 m / 393.7 inch for the LP-1020L) long sheet drawings. The maximum plotting range of this device is as follows:
(Note)
Picture quality and printing accuracy can only be assured for plain paper
and recycled paper. (Only up to twice the length of the standard-size
paper can be assured for tracing paper and film.)
LP-1020
• A0 size paper roll : 841 × 2500 mm (33.1 × 98.4 inches)
• A1 size paper roll : 594 × 1830 mm (23.4 × 72 inches)
• A2 size paper roll : 420 × 1200 mm (16.5 × 47.2 inches)
• A3 size paper roll : 297 × 920 mm (11.7 × 36.2 inches) LP-1020L
• A0 size paper roll : 841 × 10,000 mm (33.1 × 393.7 inches)
• A1 size paper roll : 594 × 10,000 mm (23.4 × 393.7 inches)
• A2 size paper roll : 420 × 1220 mm (16.5 × 47.2 inches)
• A3 size paper roll : 297 × 920 mm (11.7 × 36.2 inches)

Features
Manual feeding
mechanism
Multiport interface
Supports a variety of
paper types
Front paper feeding/
finished drawing outlet
This device is equipped with a manual feeding print function.
(Note)
The picture quality and printing accuracy for manually fed printing cannot
be assured.
The device is equipped with an Ethernet interface and allows for network connection to network. It can also be equipped with both parallel interface and USB interface. In addition, 10 logical ports can be used for the Ethernet interface, which then allows up to 12 computers, including parallel interface and USB interface, to be simultaneously connected.
4 types of rolls—paper, recycled paper, tracing paper, and film—are supported.
The device has a front paper feeding and finished drawing outlet structure. This allows for paper to be loaded and output drawings to be processed only at the front of the device. This means that the device requires only a small installation space. The device was designed for simple, front operation, allowing paper to be loaded and toner cartridges to be replaced with ease.
