Aligning Preprint And Thermal Print

The printer can synchronize the cutting of the printout with black-marks printed on the back of the paper. Use this function when you have preprint on the media and you don't want a cut in the middle of that preprint, or text printed on top of the preprint.

The sensor used to detect the black-marks is the same sensor as used for paper end detection. It is positioned 9 mm from the edge of the paper on the side of the blue release arm, and 25 mm behind the cutter (as seen from the presenter [output] side of the printer). The sensor accuracy is about ±0.5 mm so avoid designing printouts with too high demands for synchronization.

The sensor triggers on the black-to-white transition of the black-mark, which is when the black print ends (trailing edge).
