< The Search Marks function>
Two steps are required to read the registration marks.
(a) The Craft ROBO searches for the first registration mark, which will become the reference
registration mark, and makes it the origin point. (The first registration mark is the
registration mark at the bottom left of the design. It is shown as a green square in the
illustration of the plotter in the Craft ROBO Controller.
(b) Using the first registration mark as the reference registration mark, the Craft ROBO checks
the second and third registration marks.
Note: If the Craft ROBO failed to read the first registration mark in (a) above, the general
registration mark position can be specified manually (see steps (11) to (13) below.
(11) Deselect the "Registration Marks" check box, and then use the "Blade Position" function to
move the pen to the position of the first registration mark (the registration mark at the bottom
left of the design). It is shown as a green square in the illustration of the plotter in the Craft
ROBO Controller. (See "Read Marks" in Section 3.5, "Craft ROBO Controller Settings".)
(12) Click the "Read Marks" button to start manual reading of the registration marks. (See "Read
Marks" in Section 3.5, "Craft ROBO Controller Settings".)
(13) When the registration marks have been read correctly, click the "Cut" button to start cutting.
(See "Cut" in Section 3.5, "Craft ROBO Controller Settings".)
Test Plotting
To reduce media waste, we recommend that you do a test plot when using cutting data for the first
time or when you have changed the data. Test plotting allows you to visually confirm, by plotting the
cutlines with a ballpoint pen, that the cutting data will be output correctly as the specified solid and
folding lines.
(1) Turn on the power to the Craft ROBO, and check that the Standby switch lamp is lit (blue).
(2) Start up the Craft ROBO Controller from Craft ROBO-compatible software such as ROBO
Master. (See Section 3.3,"Starting up the Craft ROBO Controller".)
