Aligning Preprint and Thermal Print
The printer can synchronize the cutting with black-marks printed on the back of the paper,
punched holes or gaps in-between tickets. 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 marks is the same sensor as used for paper end detection. The
sensor is at the paper center but can be moved sideways to fit a specific ticket material.
Figure 29 • Recommended Black-mark Size and Position
The sensor measures the length of the black-mark and the cut is placed in the middle of the
mark.
Since the same sensor is used for both paper end and black-mark detection, the printer must
know the length of the black-mark to avoid signaling end-of-paper when it detects a black-
mark. The default setting accepts black-marks in the range 3 –16 mm, and works perfectly
with the recommended black-mark length of 5 mm. Marks shorter than 3 mm are interpreted
as dirt, and marks longer than 16 mm as out-of-paper. You can change both these values by
changing the printer default settings.
Black-mark mode is selected by setting parameter 36 to 2, and storing the parameters.
Note • It is essential that you store the parameters in the printer for black-mark
synchronization even if you enable black-marks in the Windows driver. This is because
Windows is not used at paper loading, and feeding with the FF button on the printer.
