    • If the printing and cutting positions are misaligned

      To determine the correction values, carry out the steps for Output 2. Proceed to step 5.

    • If the printing and cutting positions are not misaligned

      This completes the Crop Cut Position Adjustment. Proceed to step 7.

  5. Click Output 1.

    The machine prints and cuts the test pattern.

  6. Read the on-screen description and enter each value next to New Value.

    • Feed (F) Adjustment Value: −5.00 to 5.00 mm (−0.2 to 0.19 in.) (in units of 0.01 mm [0.0003 in.])

      • Enter the value at the point where the Output 2 horizontal cutting line intersects the scale.

    • Scan (S) Adjustment Value: −5.00 to 5.00 mm (−0.2 to 0.19 in.) (in units of 0.01 mm [0.0003 in.])

      • Enter the value at the point where the Output 2 vertical cutting line intersects the scale.
  7. Click OK to return to the original screen.
    The values entered for New Value under Feed (F) Adjustment Value and Scan (S) Adjustment Value are applied to Current Value.
