Presuming you mean \mode:=imagen; instead of \base:=imagen, born out by
the log file,

This means that your `plain.base' was made without knowledge of the
`imagen' mode def, so you are getting proof mode characters by default.
Fix this by installing plain.base correctly.  Often this is done by

inimf
**plain
*input waits ;
*dump

where `waits' is whatever the local mode_def file on your machine is.
Now install plain.base where it belongs and try again.
