through built‐in converter. Photoplotter overall size: FP 8000: L x W x H (700x340x210)
FP 8000 XL: L x W x H (700x370x230) Photoplotter weight: FP 8000: approx. 25 kg (55 lbs) FP 8000
XL: approx. 26.5 kg (58 lbs) Power: an external power supply unit 100‐240V AC / 36V DC – 2.78A
Reversed (negative) & mirror plotting, film and drill panelisation, D‐code editing, output preview & print,
interactive or coordinates image positioning on film, glue/unglue image location, automatic positioning of
associated images on different layers.
Photoplotter software is supplied on CD with installation program.
Requires Pentium computer with at least Windows 2000 and USB port, 100 MB HD space minimum for
software and output files. The computer speed has influence on plotting time. Plotting files may be quite
large, in range of tens of MB, so extra space on hard disk may be required.
Warranty 1 (one) year on parts.
There is no expressed warranty on functionality of enclosed software whatsoever except warranty on CD
media.
Notes:
1) Output resolution
The lowest resolution (508 & 1016 dpi) pay not be suitable for fine results.
1355 and 1625 dpi resolution is suitable for most plotting application
Use 2032 or 2710 dpi for plotting fine lines (but it takes longer time to plot)
2)
Plot size: although plotter allows to plot to maximum specified size. Be aware, that films wide across
the whole drum may be difficult to fix properly, which may result in higher inaccuracy in the right
part of the film. This is due to technics used to fix film to the drum surface by sticky tape. To fix wide
film properly requires some experience. If you encounter problem with inaccuracy on wide films,
enter deviation values into correction table for the right side of the drum, which will correct it,
provided films are always fixed to the drum in the same manner.
