1.
Follow the procedure in "4. Creating a Relief (3D
Cutting Mode)" to detach the depth regulator unit and
install the cutter (ZEC-A2320).
2.
Use the double-sided tape to attach the acrylic panel
to the table securely.
Align the corners of the panel with the holes at the four corners
of the table. Attach the panel securely so that it does not slip
or come loose.
3.
Lower the cutter to a height about 1 mm (0.04 in.) from
the surface of the panel.
About 1mm
(0.04 in)
4.
Move the cutter to each of the four corners of the panel
(A through D) to determine the corner where the clear-
ance is the smallest.
If this is difficult to determine, try slipping a stack of several
sheets of paper in the gap between the cutter and the panel. Use
the number of sheets of paper that can pass through the gap as
an indicator for determining the amount of clearance.
Clearance
5.
Move the cutter to the corner that you determined in
step 4 to have the smallest clearance, and make the
setting for the height origin point at the surface of the
panel.

and make the setting for the origin point for the vertical
and horizontal dimensions at that location.
