Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the plotter stops suddenly and shows code 47-02, check if the paper roll is properly aligned. Often, poorly loaded paper that creates excessive resistance causes this overload error.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Forced shutdown: Disconnect the plotter from power.
  2. Paper release: Open the top cover and remove any paper scraps, labels, or residue that might be slowing down the motor.
  3. Gear inspection: Check that there is no dirt accumulated on the main motor gear.
  4. Reboot: Turn on the plotter and perform a new paper load following the on-screen guide.

Prevention and Maintenance

Always use high-quality paper. Low-quality paper can release dust that clogs the feed motor. Periodically clean roller areas with a dry cloth.

When to call a technician

If the error persists, the feed motor might be electrically damaged or the logic board might have lost communication with it.
