Black Mark Size and Position

Print side	Opposite to thermal coating side
Sensor position	45 mm before cutter,. The sensor position can be adjusted
	sideways to the positions 22, 42, or 62 mm from right edge of
	the A4-paper (25, 45, and 65 mm for letter paper) when seen
	from the front of the printer. When the printer is delivered, the
	sensor will be in the 22-mm position.
Mark length range	3 to 18 mm, default 5 mm
Mark width	Minimum 5 mm centered on the sensor position, recommended
	width is 10 mm
Print density	Standard wet offset mode is recommended for printing of the
	black-marks. The full mark area must be printed. Screen-
	printing is not allowed. Measurement of print density must be
	performed relative to the white paper background.
	Using a MacBeth densitometer, the print density must be greater
	than 1.3. Anti-gloss filter is not allowed. Using a Gretag
	densitometer, the print density must be greater than 1.5. The
	reflection from the black-mark must be less than 10%. The
	reflection from the paper must exceed 80%.
Preprinting	Preprinting in the zone passing over the black-mark sensor is
	not recommended. If required, OCR blind type of ink must be
	used, (outside the 700-1100 nm range).
Punched holes	Punching must be done from the thermally coated side.
	Distorted print can be expected within a zone of approximately
	2-mm around the edges of the hole. The function must be tested.
