6.4 Adjusting the Distance Precision
The DIST ADJ. function can be used to correct any deviation in the length of cut or plotted line segments
which occurs as a result of the medium being used. The corrective value for any deviation in each
coordinate axis is specified as a percentage of the total distance. For example, a setting of 0.05%
adjusts a distance of 2 m (2,000 mm) by +1 mm (2000 × 0.05% = 1 mm) to become 2,001 mm.

Step 4
Press the
F2/TEST
key (DIST ADJ.) to display the menu below.
X= 0.00% DIST
Y= 0.00% ADJ.
To correct the distance along the X axis, press the
F1/ORIGIN
key to move the flashing cursor to X=.
To correct the distance along the Y axis, press the
F2/TEST
key to move the flashing cursor to Y=.
Step 5
Use the and keys to specify the corrective value for the selected coordinate axis.
When the displayed values for both coordinate axes are satisfactory, press the
ENTER
key to register
your settings.
Step 6
Press the
PAUSE
key to cancel the PAUSE mode.
NOTE : The DIST ADJ. settings are retained in the cutting plotter’s internal memory, even while
the cutting plotter is turned off.
