• Press the F1 key to select ORIGIN. If there is no ORIGIN in the menu, the
plotter is in GP-GL mode. Change the mode if necessary.
• Press the F3 key to select LOWER LEFT or press the F4 key to select CEN-
TER.
• Press the ENTER key to register your settings or press the MENU key to
cancel MENU mode.
NOTE: Your ORIGIN setting is retained in the plotter’s internal memory even while the
plotter is turned off. When the origin has been set to CENTER, the X- and Y-
axis coordinate values shown on the display panel represent the respective
distances from the lower left point of the effective cutting (plotting) range.
AREA - Setting the Cutting Area
The Upper Right (UR) and Lower Left (LL) functions are used to specify the
effective cutting area of the plotter so that any data specifying coordinate positions
outside of the effective cutting area are disregarded.
WARNING: As soon as both the LL and UR points are set, the pen carriage will move
to the new origin. To avoid injury, keep your hands, face and other obsta-
cles out of the vicinity of the cutting mat and media.
