< The Search Marks function>
Two steps are required to read the registration marks.
(a) The Craft ROBO searches for the rst registration mark, which will become the reference
registration mark, and makes it the origin point. (The rst registration mark is the
registration mark at the bottom left of the design. It is shown as a green square in the
illustration of the plotter in the Craft ROBO Controller.
(b) Using the rst registration mark as the reference registration mark, the Craft ROBO checks
the second and third registration marks.
