Gerber GSx 15" Plotter Seems off

[D-Kal]

Finally got down to using my plotter, but I don't know if its me but it seems to be cutting off to the right a bit.

Now for starters instead of printing this in the usual horizontal position, I printed these vertically and ran them thru the plotter.
I wonder if this may have something to do with it?

Am running Omega 5.0 Gerber Edge, with an Older GSX 15" Plotter.


In the picture below the artwork and the lettering below is to left where it should be more centered to the right.

I will assume this is manual registration, so I would say you aren't registering it correctly

Hello, J Hill

Yes it is, I line the target right in the center of the Magnifying tube,

At least i think am doing it right

Check the drum on the plotter and make sure it doesn't have any side to side play in it. There is a collar on the right side that you can loosen and slide over to tighten it up if it does.

Thanks, is that the collar with the Hex Bolt?

If I'm remembering correctly it is on the right side if you're facing the plotter. It should have two hex head cap bolts.
