When you are done moving the X and Y
axes to the target positions, press
.
The current positions of the X and Y axes are regis-
tered into the selected work coordinates origin.
The values registered here are kept in memory even
after the power is turned off and then turned on again.

When you are done moving the Z axis to the
target position, press .
The current position of the Z axis is registered into the
selected work coordinates origin.
The value registered here is kept in memory even
after the power is turned off and then turned on again.

the screen in step 2 above.
To clear the registered origin
Press if you want to clear the values set for
the X and Y axes registered into the origin and return
the origin to the lower left corner of the machine.
Press to clear the registered origin and reset it to a point at the bottom left of the machine.
Press to return to the screen for setting the selected work coordinates origin without clear-
ing the origin.
If a G-code is set using an operation switch, you can register a work coordinate origin by using
the startup procedure previously described on How to Set X / Y Axis Origin ( P.3-6) or
How
to Set Z Axis Reference Point( P.3-8).
In that case, however, among the Setting G-code Items ( P.4-10 ), only the Work Coordinate
origins for the coordinates system selected in the Work Coordinates system can be covered.
