Help with Summa D60 SE and OPOS registration

Hello,

Total newbie here. Cutting out small decals with the Summa using the registration marks and the OPOS. Using Illustrator to print and the bundled Winplot software to cut.

For some reason, the cuts are not aligned with the OPOS origin marker. They are offset by about 1/2" in the Y axis and 1/8" in the X axis. The cutter does go and correctly senses each of the registration markers. What am I doing wrong? Right now I am compensating with my contour file and shifting everything up and over a bit, but this is obviously a clumsy solution.

Why is everything offset? Do I need to do something special to the contour file? Also, the cutter cuts out the registration markers which seems odd. Is it supposed to do that? How can I turn that off?

Thanks!

 

Bob,

I appreciate your response, but I'm not sure what the proper remedy is. The logical print and physical print do appear to be the same apart from the origin shift, because once I shift the contour file's origin everything works fine. In other words, the cuts are correct, the only problem is the origin shift.

Also, does anyone have any info for me on the registration marks being cut out? Is this supposed to happen? If not, how do I make it stop?

 

As it turns out this was all caused by some kind of problem with the machine that required a full factory reset to correct. Thank you all for your help.
