Offset Adjustment: If you are cutting rectangular paths and find that paths which should have 90° angles
are instead rounded, the Blade Offset is too low. If the angles are sharp but distorted, the offset value is
too high:
In either case, you will need to adjust the Blade Offset value in LXi Production Manager (see Section
2.4) or in Create Space (see Section 2.5). These are the base settings for each type of ARTisan blade.
The recommended Blade Offset is 0.30 mm (or 0.01 in) for the ARTisan blades.

If your test cut has gaps in the paths or if the corners were not cut precisely, you may need to adjust the
Overcut setting. This can be done on the Default Job Properties tab in the LXi Production Manager (see
Section 2.4) or in the Cut Settings window in Create Space (see Section 2.5).
Setting an origin is an important part of managing your material cost and controlling where your project
will cut. Setting the origin consists of using the X and Y buttons to move the blade tip to a specific point on
the cutter’s X axis (left-to-right on the platen) and advance the media forwards or backwards.
Once you have positioned the blade in a specific point over the media (typically close to the bottom right
corner of the material), your origin is defined and you do not need to press anything before cutting.
