desired new origin point.

beeper sounds again and the new origin becomes effective.
If the coordinates are rotated or the MIRROR mode selected or cancelled after the origin has been moved, the origin
is reset to its default position. However, if the
[ORIGIN] key is held down, the origin is not reset to its default position
even when the ROTATE or MIRROR mode is cancelled. To reset the newly registered origin point to its default
position, move the cutter pen in the direction towards the lower left point until it stops, and then either hold down the
[ORIGIN] key or turn on the power while pressing the [ORIGIN] key.
If you intend to use the ORIGIN function in combination with the ROTATE or MIRROR function, be sure to set the
ORIGIN function after setting the ROTATE or MIRROR function.

Y axes from the new origin.

registration mark reading function has been used.
