Plotting on everything else (letters, envelopes, invitations, and smaller items):
Position the paper with its upper-left corner directly underneath the tip of the
pen. Square the paper up so that its top edge is parallel to the X-Shafts of the
AxiDraw.
As we discussed earlier (page 26), documents that are taller than wide are usually
turned “sideways”, as in B above. Whether vertical or horizontal, it is always the cor-
ner of the paper closest to the Home Corner that one aligns below the tip of the pen.
For comparison, here are how those two documents look on the computer when
setting up to print:
The absolute position of your paper with respect to the AxiDraw will vary, de-
pending on the paper, the pen that you use, as well as the pen length if it is
mounted at 45°. For any given pen and paper setup, it is likely to remain relatively
consistent. (See §6.5 Moving beyond the Clip Easel, on page 27.)
