Manually Adjusting the Mark Sensor Offset

This article provides instructions for manually adjusting the mark sensor offset. We are referring to the difference between scanned registration marks and the actual cutting position. Download and print the Registration Mark Template; then, proceed to Step 1.

1. Load the media with adjustment registration mark in the plotter.
2. Press the [MENU] key.
   • MENU screen is displayed.
3. Press the [2] key (ARMS).
   • ARMS SETTING screen (1/4) is displayed.
4. Press the POSITION (▼) key twice.
   • ARMS SETTING screen (3/4) is displayed.
5. Press the [1] key (SENSOR OFFSET ADJ.)

7. Press the POSITION (▲▼◄►) key and move the tool carriage to the area to start scanning of the registration mark.
8. Confirm the position of the tool, and if it is OK, press the [ENTER] key.
   • The registration mark for comparison is plotted after scanning the registration mark (see below). It will return to SENSOR OFFSET ADJ. screen once the plotting is completed.
9. Using the scanned registration mark for adjusting, measure the
   distance of how much the comparison registration mark needs
   to be moved so both will overlap, and record the value. As
   an example, in the figure above, it needs to move in negative
   directions for both X and Y directions, so both of the adjustment
   values will be a negative values.
10. Press the [3] key (X).
    • SENSOR OFFSET ADJ. X screen is displayed.
11. Press the POSITION (▲▼) key and increase or decrease the
    setting value. Set the X value measured in step 9.
12. Confirm the setting and press the POSITION (◄) key (PREVIOUS).
    • SENSOR OFFSET ADJ. is selected and it will return to SENSOR OFFSET ADJ. screen.
13. Press the [4] key (Y).
    • SENSOR OFFSET ADJ. Y screen is displayed.
14. Press the POSITION (▲▼) key and increase or decrease the
    setting value. Set the Y value measured in step 9.
15. Confirm the setting and press the POSITION (◄) key (PREVIOUS).
    • SENSOR OFFSET is selected and it will return to SENSOR
      OFFSET ADJ. screen.
16. Confirm the setting and press the [ENTER] key (SET).
    • Setting will be set, and it will return to ARMS setting screen (3/4).
17. Press the [MENU] key.
    • It will return to the default screen.
