7. ARMS Setting [ARMS]
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 configure 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 Setting] on the main screen ( page
9), the [Registration Mark Settings] screen ( page 23), and the [ARMS Setting] screen (
page 25).
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 defined 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.

Check this if you want to use registration marks to cut media that
has an image printed. (Registration marks also need to be printed
on the media beforehand.)
