Previously I have used the roland 545ex which has an "auto align" button on the main control panel. So after laminating I would direct my knife head to the circle by the rectangle and hit the auto align button and send my "cut only" job. The xc-540 does not have an auto align button, how do I...

Hi Folks, I'm running a tjet1671c. My 'current' prob is that it starts a cut fine but as time goess on the cut runs off. i'm cutting out motox / quad decals. 1.5m x 1.5m. If I use 2 or 3 cuts, after the first cut, the 2nd cut is say 5mm on the x and y axis off. i had thought it was initially...
