Limitations

For Lotem 400 with MCU, after loading a plate, the XY bar moves toward the plate to position x=700, directly over the paper/plate detector. This position can cause a false reading.
Workaround: After installation, in the registry, locate IO OBJECT\Loading System\Load Plate\From Drum Entry to Drum Stage, and then change the X Run Away From Plate on Drum parameter from 700 to 800.
