6. Example of printing area setting
An example of the settings for the printing area when not using reverse paper
feeding is shown below.
Black mark pitch (dimension A): 100 mm
Top margin: 12 mm
Bottom margin: 3 mm + (100 mm × 0.03) = 6 mm
Given the above settings, the printing area must be set to 82 mm or less (100
mm - 12 mm - 6 mm = 82 mm).
Note:
1) Be careful when setting the print layout for pre-printed paper. The TOF
printing precision when detecting black marks is ±2 mm from the standard
printing location. In addition, the printing length is ±2% of the set value
according to variations with the initial ambient temperature and platen
diameter precision, and a margin of error of up to -5% may occur according
to the life of the printer.
2) If you have any questions regarding how to set the printing area according
to the black mark pitch, contact Star Micronics.
7. Sensor adjustment
When using black marks, it is recommended to adjust the black mark sensor.
