Sensor Adjust
Scan level (threshold value between the media background color and registration mark) of the sensor
scanning the registration mark is automatically adjusted.
Sensor is adjusted to scan the registration mark written in black lines on white background. Readjust
the scan level of the sensor depending on the color and gloss of the media. If it is hard to adjust the
level automatically due to media characteristics, adjust the scan level of the sensor manually. When
you want to revert the sensor level back to the default, use the control panel of the plotter.
For detailed adjusting procedure for the sensor level, see "Chapter 5: ARMS (Automatic scanning of
the registration marks)" in the CE6000 User's Manual.
Sensor Offset ADJ.
Sensor to scan the registration mark is positioned away from the tip of the tool (pen tip). Therefore, it
is necessary to adjust the coordinate values of the scanned registration mark so it will match with the
cutting position.
Specify how much the cross shape, which was plotted after scanning, should be moved based on the
cross shape to be scanned.
• Plotting Registration Mark for Adjustment
When Registration Mark is not plotted on the media, first plot the Registration Mark. Then proceed to
the step of "Detect the Registration Mark for Adjustment, and enter the Value".
1. Load white media.
2. Set the water-based fiber-tip pen on the tool holder.
3. Open the [ARMS Setting] screen of controller.
4. Click [Position (use Keyboard)], and use the Keyboard of PC to move the Tool to the position at
which you want to cut the Registration Mark (test pattern).
5. Click [Test Pattern] of [Sensor Offset ADJ.], and plot the Adjustment Registration Mark.
• Detect the Registration Mark for Adjustment, and enter the Value
When the Registration Mark is already cut on the Media or when the Media where Adjustment
Registration Mark is
cut is used using the [Test Pattern], take the following procedures.
1. Load the media with adjustment registration mark in the plotter.
2. Open [ARMS Setting] screen of controller.
3. Click [Position (use Keyboard)], and use the Keyboard of PC to move the Tool to the area at which
you want to start scanning the Registration Mark

5. Using the scanned Registration Mark for Adjustment, measure the distance of how much the
comparison registration mark needs to be moved so both will overlap, and record the value. As an
example, in the figure above, it needs to move in negative directions for both X and Y directions, so
both of the adjustment values will be negative values.
6. Enter the values, which were measured in the above 5, into each X/Y as the adjustment value.It is
able to set for both X and Y in the range from -3.0 to +3.0 mm (-0.118 to +0.118 inch).
