5.2 AAS Calibrating the System
The AAS system has one calibration procedures to ensure maximum accuracy of AAS
operation. To operate the AAS you need to learn about the method of media feeding firstly.
(Refer to 4.1 Media Loading.)

5.2.1 Media Calibration

Media Calibration is to ensure the sensor being able to recognize the registration marks.
The factory default works on a wide range of materials. However, certain types of
materials may not work properly. Performing a media calibration may become necessary
while working with such materials to change the sensitivity of AAS for greater reliability.
Media calibration adjusts the media feeding according to media type for better accuracy
during cutting.
When to use
We suggest white media for best cutting result. It is not necessary to perform media
calibration every time unless the registration marks on the printed media become
undetectable in AAS sensing process.

5.2.2 AAS Calibration

The first registration mark is designed to be different in order to identify the origin for AAS
auto-detection. The following precaution must be aware for registration marks to be read
automatically.
Type of media
Registration mark pattern
Reading range required for detection the registration marks
Position for registration marks and medium
The registration marks have to be:
Created by cutting software like SignPal or GCC CorelDRAW plug-in
In black color
"L" Mark Length: 10mm~50mm, suggested 25 mm
"L" Mark Thickness: 1mm~2mm, suggested 1 mm
Margin: 1mm~50mm, suggested 5 mm
The cutter can not detect the marks while:
Cutter carriage is not located near the outside area of first mark before
detecting (See the picture in page 5-7 for auto-detecting area of first mark.)
Medium thickness is more than 0.8mm
Transparent medium is used
Accu-Aligning System 5-2
