Fixed Job Offset
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

It is possible to define a Job Offset for the job that is used for the output to the secondary head. If the job offset is the same as the Secondary Head Offset, the output takes place at the same relative position inside the two fields. The maximum Offset in one direction is ±30000 bits of 65536. That corresponds to ±45 mm of a 100 mm working area or 45%.

Inside SAMLight, the Job Offset can be defined within the dialog File → Job Properties:

JobPropertiesDialog

Figure 405: Job Properties Dialog

Inside the View, the job is displayed as follows:

job_example

The objects are on the same relative position within the two heads as the Job Offset is the same as the Head Offset. If we change the Job Offset to x = 100, y = 20, we get the following:

job_offset

The Job Offset is saved within the sjf file.
