7. ARMS Setting [ARMS]
CAUTION
· ARMS is a function to align the cutting position with the print position as much as possible and does not
guarantee an accuracy where the media is cut at the same print position and in the same size as defi ned by
data.
· Unlike plotters (drawing machines), printers generally do not guarantee accuracy in terms of the print position
and the size. In particular, when a laser printer and sheet media are used, the print may be distorted
considerably and you may not be able to obtain a proper cutting result even if adjustment is made to the print
by using the registration marks.

ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing System) is a system that automatically reads registration
marks. The ARMS functions enable you to cut printed material more precisely.
The main ARMS functions include 4points (2 axes warp) adjustment, multiple registration mark
adjustment, segment area adjustment, and automatic scanning of the registration marks. In
the controller, you can confi gure and perform 4points (2 axes warp) adjustment, segment area
adjustment, and automatic scanning of the registration marks.
Settings for ARMS are made in [Registration Marks] on the main screen (
