M1plus:
Correction values entered on M1plus will be applied by the technical processing to the parking of yarn carriers at the fabric selvedge. Yarn carrier in the area for activating and deactivating will be displaced or in anticipation parked aside.
If the ESCI correction value is too high, the switch-on or switch-off area of the presser foot may be moved so far that the yarn carrier is in the active area of the presser foot. The technical processing will be canceled and the programmer has to solve the problem.

Machine:
With entering the correction values in the Setup Editor at the machine may lead to an error message and machine stop. Modify the values manually until error message will appear no more or edit the program on the M1plus again.
