6.5 Aligning the Coordinate Axes
When loading new film, the AXIS ADJ. function is used to reposition the coordinate axes to compensate
for any deviation in the coordinate axes and origin between the cutting plotter and the medium which
has previously been cut or plotted. This function lets you re-align the cutting plotter’s coordinate axes
to match those of a previously cut or plotted medium. To make it easier to specify the AXIS ADJ.
settings, first plot a figure that clearly indicates the origin point and the orientation of the X axis. Be
sure to perform plotting within the effective cutting area so that the AXIS ADJ. settings can be specified
even if the origin and the line indicating the X axis are positioned at an angle. If the origin and the
line indicating the X axis line are plotted near the boundaries of the effective cutting area, the resulting
AXIS ADJ. settings may be outside of the effective cutting area such that the coordinate axes cannot
be re-aligned.
