Black Mark Media Requirements
The printer is optimized to detect black marks printed with IR sensitive ink and ignore pre-
print in IR blind ink.
For 80 and 82.5mm media, the black marks will be centered 30mm to the right of the
paper center when viewing the imaged side of the receipt and print direction is downward;
for 58 and 60mm media, the black marks will be centered 22mm to the left of the paper
when viewing the imaged side of the receipt and the print direction is downward.
The printer will support media with black mark thickness in printing direction of 2.5 –
9.0mm, and a width of 5.0 – 10.0mm when the black mark is centered on the sensor.
In the figure below, the “No Print Zone” is the area on the backside of the media where no
marks (other than the black marks for sensing) should be printed.
For media that has both perforations and black marks, perforations should be positioned
in the middle of the black mark. By default, the printer will cut the media in the middle of
the black mark.
