Setting The Registration Mark Reading Area; Setting Procedure - GRAPHTEC FC7000 Series User Manual

6.13 Setting the Registration Mark Reading Area

This function allows you to change the start position for scanning by simply
specifying the distance between registration marks. Since the plotter will not
perform scanning in areas where there are clearly no registration marks, the mark-
sensing time is reduced. This function also prevents incorrect recognition of dirt or
other foreign matter on the media as a registration mark. Up to three marks can be
registered.
CAUTION: If you specify a value longer than the media, the media can not be detected.

• If 0 mm is specified for the spacing, the plotter will not skip reading between
marks. It will continue searching until the next registration mark is found.
• The Y-axis value is ignored for 2-point reading.
• Specify a distance that is approximately 10 mm shorter than the distance
between registration marks in the media feed direction for the X axis, and the
distance between registration marks in the direction in which the pen carriage
moves for the Y axis(see the diagrams below).
