Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print

Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print

The printer can synchronize the cutting of the printout with black-marks printed on the back of the paper. You use this function when you have preprint on the printout 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. The sideways position depends on which paper guide is fitted. With 58 and 60 mm guides it is 22 mm to the left of the paper center, and with 80 and 82.5 mm guides, it is 30 mm to the right of the paper center. The distance from the sensor to the cutter is 25 mm. The sensor accuracy is about ±0.5 mm so avoid designing receipts with too high demands for synchronization.
