drift. When running some materials, it is recommended that skew
control be turned off. In most of these cases, the plotter will not see the
material at all, and will automatically run with skew off. To avoid any
instances were skew might be turned on or off during running of these
materials, it is suggested that skew control be turned off before loading
the material and the auto-align feature not be used. Align the material by
hand/eye using the guide marks on the plotter extrusions near the edge
sensor. If the plotter asks to auto-align the material, press the Function
key F1 for "No".
Note: Normally, skew control is ON. If you are running scrap material,
transparent materials, or material with an uneven edge, turn skew control off.

•

control back on (normal or short).
To turn skew control off

either F3 or F4 to step through the choices (ON − norm, ON − short for
