The edge detection system relies on the “image to edge” concept. When plate height is not exact, the edge detection system causes misregistration as a result of the conflict in punch locations. To resolve misregistration, a center punch was added to Lotem 400 Xpose with MCU. The image start area is relative to the center punch location, and the edge detection system is deactivated. (This also increases throughput.) To resolve misregistration on devices that do not include the center punch, order and install the central punch kit. Find this item under Misregistration on the Troubleshooting page.

FCO Tracker is a file utility, enabling service personnel to keep track of the Field Change Orders (FCOs) that have been implemented on a specific platesetter. Each FCO has its own unique FCO Tracker file. Whenever an FCO is implemented, its associated FCO Tracker file should be installed. To learn more about the File Tracker utility, read the FCO Tracker FAQ.

Inexact plate height can cause a conflict between the punch locations when using the edge detection system, resulting in Misregistration appears in the height direction on Lotem 400 small and Magnus 400 with MCU on Lotem 400 small with MCU.
