Scaling (Advance Page)
In some cases you may find a slight output inaccuracy in the actual output compared to what you have set
in the computer. This margin of error or offset is extremely small (approximately 1/300). What this means is
that there may be a 1-unit offset for every 300 unit increments. As an example, if you engrave a 300mm
straight line, it may end up measuring only 299mm or 301mm in the final output. In this case, you will want
to set the scaling setting to +1 / 1000 or -1 / 1000 respectively to compensate. A general rule of thumb is
for every 300 unit increment, you will want to adjust the slider by +1 if the final output is 1 unit increment
shorter or -1 if the final output is 1 unit increment longer than your graphic design setting.
Position Modes (Advance Page)
These selections allow you to control the positioning of the lens carriage after each job completion and
before the next subsequent job.

Home: Resets the positioning of the lens carriage to the 'home position' (upper-right) before and after
each job.

Without Home: The lens carriage will start the next job based on the position from its graphic
application software setting, from the last position of the previous job. Upon completion of the current
job, the lens carriage will remain at the last position of the previous job.

Relative: This mode sets the current lens carriage position to correspond to the origin (top left) position
of the graphic software. Therefore, the lens carriage will process the job from its current position
relative to its setting in the graphics software.

Center: Sets the current position of the lens carriage as the center point for your subsequent job. As
an example, if the subsequent job is to vector cut a circle and you have the Position Mode set to
Center, then the T500 will vector cut a circle around the initial position of the lens carriage.

SmartCENTER: The SmartCENTER function is a quick and easy way to precisely locate the center
point between two points or four points.
