Plotter won't Read Setup Sheet; Plots Solid Black Area Fill

This problem can occur on DesignJet 200 plotters with the old style cartridge carriage.
Install a new carriage. (Details D chapter 9, w Chang in Carriag .)

Problems in Loading Media

User's Guide
The Troubleshooting section of the User's Guide lists mistakes you may be making if the
plotter continually rejects your media.

Long Media doesn't Load

DesignJet 200 plotters with firmware version A.01.00 cannot load 1.6 m media. Update the
firmware. (Details D chapter 9, w Probl ms Corr t d by irmwar R l as A.01.01.)

Translucent Media doesn't Load

Some DesignJet 200 carriage PCAs have problems sensing translucent media. The solution is
to install a new cartridge carriage. (Further Information D chapter 9, w Chang in Carriag .)

Binding, or Missing Sensor Flags

Media load failures can also occur due to binding in the media axis mechanics or missing
media sensor flags. Clear any binding in the media axis mechanics due to a media jam. (Do
not pull the media along the carriage axis. Doing so could break the media sensor flags.)

Media Skews Badly

Ensure that the media diverters (part number D page 10 26) are correctly installed. If one is
missing or broken, replace it. To access this part, you need to remove the drive roller !
