GRAPHTEC FC4200-50 - Pen Width Calibration for Plotting Precision; Specifying Corrective Values for Pen Width

5 – 5
5.3 Specifying the Corrective Values for the Pen Width
The PEN WIDTH (Interval between pens) function lets you correct any deviation between the initial
cutting/plotting position of the cutter pen and plotting pen.
CAUTION
To use this function, you must first specify PEN No. 1 for COND No. 1 and PEN No. 2 for COND No.
2. (For more information, see Section 5.6, “Specifying the Pen Conditions.”). Unless these PEN
Nos. 1 and 2 have been respectively specified for COND Nos. 1 and 2, a prompt will appear that
instructs you to do so. Mount a ballpoint pen in both Pen holder 1 and Pen holder 2.
