Checking Beam Alignment

As a final step in the installation process you need to check your beam alignment. You do this using the red
pointer beam.
1. Open the top door and rotate the x axis arm cover up and out of the way.
2. Place a small piece of masking tape across the 3/4" (19 mm) hole in the focus carriage (1). Gently rub the
tape around the edge of the hole so that you can see the outline of the hole through the tape (2).
