Scaling factor
The scaling factor is used to scale the part up or down. All encoder
movements are multiplied by the scaling factor.
 A scaling factor of 1.0 creates a part with the exact size as
dimensioned on the print.
 A scaling factor > 1 enlarges the workpiece.
 A scaling factor < 1 reduces the workpiece.
To define the scaling factor:
 In the JOB SETUP menu, select SCALE FACTOR and press the
ENTER key to open the form.
 The ON/OFF soft key is used to disable the current scaling factors.
 Use the numeric keys to enter a number greater than zero if a
scaling factor is active. The number range is 0.100000 to 10.000000.
When the scaling factor is a value other than 1, the scaling symbol
SCL is shown in black in the status bar.
The settings for the scaling factor will be retained on a power cycle.

 Mirror : A scaling factor of –1.00 will produce a mirror
image of the part. You can both mirror and scale a part
at the same time.
