Adjusting corners
In swivel blade technology, the knife tip is always slightly behind the
center of the tool holder and the knife offset is the distance between the
knife center and the knife tip. The amount of corner adjustment in the
firmware tells the plotter to compensate for this distance. It ensures that
the knife is cutting the center line of the shape and that the corners will
be accurate. An inaccurate corner setting will cause poor cutting quality,
difficult weeding, and poor corners
The ODYSSEY XP plotter firmware provides a corner adjustment feature
(corners) to help you ensure accurate corner cutting. To determine what
corners adjustment to make, cut a 1/2" (13 mm) test square. Examine the
corners (possibly with a magnifying glass) and compare them to the
following diagrams. If you determine that a corners adjustment is
necessary, you can make the adjustment in GA or at the plotter control
panel before you send the job.
