S Class 2 cutter Service manual
Basic Operation 4-8
4.2.2.7.3 Alignment mode:
There are six alignment methods available on all S class cutters:
X-Alignment, XY-Alignment and XY-Adjustment, OPOS-X, OPSO-XY and OPOS-Barcode. The
first three alignment methods can be used if the combination of marker color – media color
cannot be read by the OPOS sensor. These alignment methods require that the user manually
register markers using the cutter’s keypad. Most cutting software can automatically put these
markers around the printed graphic.
X-Alignment compensates for errors in media alignment, and therefore graphic rotation,
by rotating the graphic’s contour. This alignment method requires that the user specify the
Origin and one point along the X-Axis. Distance parameters are not required. X-Alignment
is the simplest alignment method.
XY-Alignment compensates for errors in graphic rotation and skewness. Skewness errors
occur when the graphic’s X and Y Axes are not perpendicular. This alignment method
requires that the Origin and one point along both the X and Y Axes be specified.
XY-Adjustment compensates for errors in graphic rotation, skewness, and scale. Scale
errors occur when the graphic’s printed size is different from the graphic’s original size as
created in the imaging software. X-Distance and Y-Distance parameters are required.
These parameters define the distance between the Origin and X-Axis point, and between
the Origin and Y-Axis point. XY-Adjustment is the most accurate manual alignment
method.
OPOS-X is an automated system which reads markers along the X axis to compensate for
errors in graphic rotation, skewness, and scale per measured marker.
OPOS-XY is the same as OPOS X but also has the ability to compensate for Y axis errors in
the graphic.
OPOS-Barcode can read the barcode at the beginning of a job and send this information to
the computer driving the machine. The job is then cut using the OPOS-XY method.
Default alignment method is OPOS.
4.2.2.7.4 OPOS sheet mode:
This option is to automate multiple identical OPOS jobs on sheet media.
4.2.2.7.5 OPOS paneling:
This submenu shows the actual OPOS parameters. Size of markers, distance between markers
and number of markers. Can be used to troubleshoot OPOS problems or to set them if no
OPOS dedicated software is used.
4.2.2.7.6 OPOS monitor:
This submenu shows the actual value of the reflection that is picked up by the OPOS sensor, is
used while calibrating OPOS.
