X,Y Calibration question - cuts are longer than what they should be

[tshirtn00b 12]

I've noticed on my machine recently (LP48) if I cut a rectangle for example the Y (the cut that feeds the vinyl forward, not left to right) is a little bit longer than what is set up in my design software. 

Windows XP, Illustrator CS3 w/SignCut X2 plugin.

I cut some 12" x 30" rectangles the one day (12"x30" in Illustrator) on a 15" wide roll but my cutter cut 12" x 30.5".  I just did some 12"x18" cuts today and it cut 12"x18.25"

I am guessing this is some kind of calibration issue but not really sure where to look.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Thanks.

Answer shown by SPeedoogy is for Signcut products.

Change the Y axis difference in the machine menu of the LP48.

Press OFFLINE button and press mode button until Y-axis value shows up.

Change accordingly till the cut is OK.

Why not in the software?

If you use other brand plot software you have to calibrate again!
