Introduction
The Infinity series of inkjet plotters provide continuous throughput on
constantly moving paper rolls. The Infinity is the most affordable plotter
of its kind.
The Infinity is ideal for plotting in an ultra wide format, yet small enough
to fit into any design or pattern making area. This compact upright
plotter is quiet, easy to install, uses minimal floor space and can be
conveniently set against a wall.
This getting started manual provides information that will quickly get you
familiar with the Infinity plotter. For more extensive information on the
plotter, open the Infinity User Interface on your workstation, click on the
HELP pull down menu, and then select Infinity Help.
