4.25 Adjusting the Distance Between the Pens

This function compensates for the difference in position between the cutter pen and the plotter pen. First of
all, mount a plotter pen in the pen station and draw a cross. Next, mount a plotter pen in the cutter pen
holder and draw a second cross (the reference cross). The difference between the two crosses can be
adjusted by inputting corrective values. The setting range is within -3.0 mm to +3.0 mm, in 0.1 mm intervals.
