Camera Calibration Guide for Left Pen

Camera calibration is an essential process to ensure precise positioning and accurate results when doing print-then-cut projects. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily calibrate the camera for optimal performance. 

Before you begin, make sure to gather the following items: 

• Pen (included with the machine)
• Cardstock 
• Mat

Instructions:

1. Power on your machine. 
2. Place the pen securely into the left tool holder. 
3. Place the cardstock on the mat, ensuring it is aligned properly in the top left corner of the mat. 
4. Load the mat into the machine. 
5. Touch the Settings button on the machine’s LCD screen and select the “Camera” option. 
6. In the Camera Settings, choose “Adjust” to enter the calibration screen. 
7. Once in the calibration screen, choose “Adj L” to begin the calibration process for the left pen. 
8. The machine will automatically draw a “田” symbol on the cardstock. Allow the machine to finish the drawing. 
9. After the drawing is completed, touch the middle position of the + symbol on the captured image displayed on the screen. Adjust the red + position as close to the center as possible and confirm by tapping “OK.” 
10. The machine will automatically create a blue dashed line to coincide with the + symbol in the captured image. Verify the alignment, and when satisfied, press “GET” to save the calibration parameters.
