Axis Alignment Adjustment - GRAPHTEC FC4100 series User Manual

Axis Alignment Adjustment

When the light pointer is selected and the AXIS ALIGNMENT key is pressed, the pen carriage
and media move into position so that the light pointer is in the same position as the cutter/pen in
READY mode. In this case, the position of the light pointer represents the position of the
cutter/pen in READY mode.
If the loupe or bombsight has been selected, neither the pen carriage nor the media will move
evenly, even though the AXIS ALIGNMENT key has been pressed because the loupe is already in
the same position as the cutter/pen in READY mode. The light pointer does not light. If you are
pointing to a registration mark colored with an illegible color such as red, use the loupe.
