4.11 Axis Adjustment
When AXIS has been selected for the registration mark mode, axis adjustment is performed manually. If 2, 3,
or 4 points are speci
fi ed on the X and Y axes, adjustment is performed for the angle of the coordinate axes
(X-axis and Y-axis tilt) and the distance (line segment length).

Axis adjustment origin point : This is the center point of axial eccentricity. The X and Y axes are tilted from this point.
Point 1 : This the reference point used for axis adjustment. For 3-point and 4-point reading, position this point at the
intersection of the X and Y axes of points 2 and 3.
Point 2 : Using point 1 as a reference, position this point on the X or Y axis.
Point 3 : Using point 1 as a reference, position this point on the X or Y axis.
Point 4 : Position this point diagonally opposite point 1, at the intersection of the X and Y axes of points 2 and 3.

setting) to the position for setting point 1, and then press the [ENTER] key . If 2-axis adjustment has been performed
previously, the pen carriage will move automatically to the previously set reference point. In this case, use the [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] keys to make any adjustments required.
(3) The prompts for setting point 2, point 3 and point 4 will be displayed in succession. Make the settings in the same
way as for point 1.

The display’s fi rst line (M) shows the distance between the fi rst and second points as read by the plotter. Input the
actual distance (the data distance) in the second line (S). Use the [ ] or [ ] key to change the numeric value, and
then press the [ENTER] key . The plotter returns to Ready status.
