If the system is unable to automatically read the registration marks
To read the registration marks with user’s assistance, perform the following two steps:
(1) Search for the first registration mark and set it as origin. (The first registration mark is located at the lower
left corner of the ROBO Master design area. It is shown in green on the illustration in the Craft ROBO
Controller. (See 3.5.9 Set Origin)
(2) Check the positions of the second and third registration marks using the first registration mark as a
reference.
The registration marks can generally be designated manually, even if step (1) fails.
