ADVANCED FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS: Setting the SENSOR OFFSET ADJUSTMENT (Method 1)
6-38
7Press the F3 key (METHOD 1). The following menu appears.
8Use the POSITION keys to move the pen carriage to the position near the
cross mark shown in the figure below, and then press the F4 key (SCAN).
The plotter scans the pre-printed cross mark, and then plots a second cross
mark (see the figure below).
9Press the F3 key (PARAMETER SET). The following menu appears.
10 Measure the distance between the pre-printed cross mark and the plotted
cross mark, and then input the corrective values.
The corrective values that need to be input depend on the actual shift in
position between the first and second cross marks. In the above figure, for
example, there is a shift in both the -X and -Y direction, and so X = -**.* mm
and Y = **.* mm need to be input.
Press the F3 or F4 key to select the X or Y axis. Use the (▲▼) POSITION keys
to increase or decrease the value. Press the F2 key (+/-) to toggle the polarity.
(If there is no shift, simply press the ENTER key).
11 Press the ENTER key to register your setting.
12 Press the NEXT key to return the plotter to Ready status.
This setting is retained in the plotter’s internal memory even when the power is
turned off.
• Either cutter peas or plotting pens can be used.
