MBM Corporation CREASEMATIC AUTO 50 - Manual (Page 26)

Absolute and Incremental Programming
The main difference between the two types of programming system is that Absolute
measurements are taken from the leading edge of the document, and Incremental
measurements are taken from the previous crease line.
The machine is not meant to be programmed initially in Incremental mode!
It is intended that the initial program should be entered in Absolute. I.e. all measurements
are taken from the leading edge. Then if an adjustment is required because the print
registration has changed to the leading edge, select “Incremental”, then enter program
mode and any change to any crease position will also affect any following crease
positions by the same amount.
Example.
A document requires three creases, the first is 100mm from the leading edge, the second
is 150mm from the leading edge and the third is 175mm from the leading edge as shown
below.

To program with Incremental measurements, the first distance is taken from the front
edge, the second is taken from the first crease, and the third from the second crease.
