How to solve problems with plotter Pirina

Very often problems with the plotter are due to minute causes and can be fixed quickly. Check for the following:

The plotter does not start, there is no light and the control block does not start:

– Is the plotter connected to the electric grid?
– Is the emergency shut off switch pressed?
– Is there electricity available?

The plotter turns on, but there is no pneumatic pressure and the tools can not move up/down:

– Are the pressure regulators set to zero pressure?
– Is there a leak of pressurized air from the pneumatic tubes?

The plotter does not receive data and does not perform the set task:

– Are the communication cables and ports to the PC properly connected?
– Are the communication cables and ports on the plotter properly connected?

The plotter is moving, but the carton is not creased nor cut:

– Is the cutting knife broken?
– Is the set cutting depth enough?
– Is the set creasing depth enough?
– Is the set air pressure enough?

The plotter stops suddenly while working:

– Is there electrical supply?
– Is there accumulation of dirt on the rubbing parts of the plotter?
– Are the terminal switches engaged (in an attempt to move the toolhead outside of the working area)?
– Always refer to an authorised technician to fix problems that you notice during plotter operation.

ATTENTION! It is strictly forbidden to open the covers and panels of the plotter except by authorised technicians or service centres. Opening the plotter voids the warranty.

Before calling the service centre:

Try to troubleshoot the problem yourself – see above.
