The registration-mark conditions that can be read by the cutting plotter are as follows.
• Registration-mark line width: 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm (The registration-mark center lines are used as the ref-
erence points.)
• Registration-mark size: 5 mm to 20 mm (See “Setting the Registration-mark Size.”)
• Registration-mark pattern: Pattern 1 or 2 (See “Setting the Registration-mark Pattern.”)
• Registration marks must be formed of single lines.
• Registration marks must be drawn in black.
The cutting plotter cannot detect registration marks on the following media types.
• Transparent media: The writing surface is also read, preventing the registration-mark lines
from being read.
• Non-monochrome drawings: The registration marks cannot be read on colored media or if the registra-
tion marks are not black.
• Untidy drawings or media: The registration marks cannot be read if the medium surface is dirty or
creased, or if the registration marks are defaced.
• Medium thickness: The registration marks cannot be read if the medium is more than 0.3 mm
in thickness.
The cutting plotter is capable of reading the following registration-mark patterns.
• The registration marks used in the application software cannot be used. The reg-
istration marks must always be created as drawing data.
• If auto mark reading is not possible, use the axis alignment function (see “Setting
Axis Alignment”).
