4-point reading (4POINTS)
This procedure explains how to align the coordinate axes based on four points.
The plotter reads the orthogonal points of four registration marks, corrects the tilt
in both coordinate axes, and then performs distance adjustment.
If Custom or Standard has been selected for the registration mark distance
adjustment setting (see Section 6.16, “Setting the DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT”,
and if the Cutting Master (Ver. 3.2 or later) registration mark function is used,
the screen for inputting corrective values is not displayed.

2 If you wish to skip the registration mark sensing function, press the F2 key
(SKIP) to return the plotter to Ready status.
3 If you press the F3 key (AUTO), sensing begins from the current pen position.
Use the POSITION keys to move the pen tip to the shaded area in the following
diagrams, and then press the F3 key.
The plotter will start scanning the registration marks in accordance with the
distance between the marks that was stored under the selected number in the
registration mark reading area (see Section 6.13, “Setting the Registration
Mark Reading Area” for further details).
