X/Y offset

The default dispensing X/Y offset is 0.0/0.0 mm. You can change the x-
and y-axis offset values if the plate used is not the standard one specified
in the plate type list (see Table 4–3).
Use the Left and Right arrow keys to set the dispensing X/Y offset in
the x-axis and the Up and Down arrow keys to set it in the y-axis
direction. While you change the offset values, the dispensing valve head
moves * accordingly. The offset is set in 0.05 mm increments in both
the + and – directions. The maximum offset value depends on the
selected plate type.
