SOR OFFSET
ADJustment
The SENSOR OFFSET ADJ function is used to determine the corrective values
you should input in order to adjust the precision of the registration mark sensor.
The plotter utilizes an optical sensor to sense or read a registration mark that is
not in the same location as the pen. There are two methods available to adjust the
offset factor:
METHOD 1: The plotter scans a printed cross mark then plots a second
cross mark based on the reading of the printed cross mark.
The plotter then adjusts for offset.
METHOD 2: The plotter plots the cross mark, reads it, then plots another
cross symbol for use in determining the corrective values to
be input in order to adjust the precision of the registration
mark sensor. The plotter plots the second cross mark based
on the reading of the first cross mark then adjusts for offset.
Note: To avoid confusion, plot using different color pens between the first and second
cross marks.
• Load the media and set the pen in the plotter.
If you wish to use METHOD 1,
you must load media with a printed cross mark.
