[Adjustment Value Input Screen]
- X-direction adjustment value (OFFSET X):
Enter the value corresponding to the position where the misalignment between printing and cutting is smallest.
Example)
In the diagram below, "-4" indicates the smallest misalignment between printing and cutting,
so input "-0.4"* for "OFFSET X".
*Input the value obtained by multiplying the actual value by 0.1.
- Y-direction adjustment value (OFFSET Y):
Enter the value corresponding to the position where the misaligned between printing and cutting is smallest.
Example)
In the diagram below, "2" indicates the smallest misalignment between printing and cutting,
so input "-0.20"* for "OFFSET Y"
4. Press the ENTER key, and the media will return, completing the adjustment.
