Setting The Registration Mark Mode - GRAPHTEC FC4500 User Manual

4.2 Setting the Registration Mark Mode

This mode is used to specify the angle and distance adjustment methods, as well as to specify the distance
between registration marks for skipping by the sensor during registration mark detection.
2-point reading: The plotter performs adjustment between points 1-2 and of a single axis (angle adjustment).
3-point reading: The plotter performs adjustment between points 1-2 and points 1-3, adjusts the angle of both
coordinate axes and then performs distance adjustment. If the same point was specified for both
points 2 and 3, only coordinate axis angle adjustment is performed.
4-point reading: The plotter performs adjustment between points 1-2 and points 1-3, adjusts the angle of both
coordinate axes and then performs distance adjustment. The addition of the coordinate values of point
4 enables even more precise coordinate axis angle and distance adjustment.
