Move the X gantry to the top Y position.  Fire another black dot onto the thermal 
paper.  You should now have two black dots (one from the upper Y position and one 
from lower Y position).  Move the X gantry up and down and verify that the red dot 
tracks from one black dot to the other black dot.   

8.

 

Move the X gantry to the lowest Y position.  The red dot should now overlap with one 
of the black dots.  Adjust mirror #1 until the red dot is in the middle of the two black 
dots.   

 

9.

 

Use a fresh piece of thermal paper and fire a test dot with the X gantry still in the 
lowest Y position.  Move the X gantry to the top position and fire another test dot.  
Now the two black dots should be closer together than in step #6.   

10.

 

Move the X gantry back to the lowest Y position.  Now adjust the red dot until it moves 
to the center of the two black dots. 

11.

 

Repeat the process of firing two black dots on the top and on the bottom Y positions 
and adjusting mirror #1 to move the red dot to the center of the two black dots until 
the two black dots from the top and bottom Y positions are centered on top of each 
other. 

The idea is that when the laser is not aligned, you will have two black dots from the test fires in 
the top and bottom positions.  The red laser pointer is aligned with the invisible laser pointer 
so gives you immediate feedback on the mirror adjustment.  By adjusting it into the middle of 
the two black dots, you are splitting the error difference.  Usually after 1 or 2 iterations, the 
black dots will be exactly on top and this axis is aligned.  The goal is to have the two black dots 
overlap exactly.  

It is not necessary that the dots be in the center of the mirror but they 

should be somewhere on the mirror.

  Mirror #1 is now aligned.
