Sheet creation reference
You can use paper that you make yourself with this device in addition to the optional paper
that we offer. If you make your own paper, follow the specifi cations below.
(1) Sheet size
Height 110-335.6mm Width 63.5-228.6mm
Do not cut or round the corners on the reference side (timing mark side).
(See P.iv)
(2) Weight and thickness
(3) Paper quality
OCR paper, quality paper, or recycled OCR paper.
(4) Printing ink (printing surrounding mark fi elds)
When the wavelength of the OMR reading sensor light source is 940nm,
use spectrum band B900 to measure the PCS and use ink at PCS 0.15 or
less. Print timing marks in ink at PCS 0.85 or higher.
When the wavelength of the OMR reading sensor light source is 660nm,
use spectrum band B680 to measures the PCS and use ink at PCS 0.15
or lower. Print timing marks in ink at PCS 0.85 or higher.
(5) Printing position accuracy
Parallelism Adjust printing parallelism for timing marks and data
marks 0.2mm or less based on the cutting edge of the
timing mark side.
Perpendicularity Adjust printing perpendicularity for timing marks and
data marks 0.2mm or less based on the cutting edge of
the timing mark side.
Other Adjust to ±0.2mm or less of specified measurements
unless otherwise specifi ed.
(6) Prohibited printing zones
Do not print between timing marks, or between the top-end (bottom-end)
timing mark and the top edge (bottom edge) of the mark sheet.
Top-end margin*: 9mm or more from the top edge to the fi rst timing mark.
Bottom-end margin : 9mm or more from the last timing mark to the bottom
edge.
Side margin: 4mm or more on the opposite side of the sheet’s
standard edge.
*For IBM card size, top end margin is 5mm or more,
bottom- end margin is 6mm or more
(7) Direction of paper grain
Feed paper in the direction of its grain to eliminate curling.
g/m2 (grams per sheet) 84 - 157
mm (thickness) 0.1 - 0.19
Feeding direction
Paper grain direction
