Setting Black Mark Mode

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.

Refer to the Hardware Integrator Guide (P1028247) for black mark media requirements.

1. Choose the correct media guide for the desired media width. Refer to the Hardware

Integrator Guide (P1028247) for media guide installation instructions.

2. Perform a media guide calibration. Refer to "Application User Interface" on page 63.

3. Load the desired media.

4. In the Tools tab of the Windows driver, click “Set Black Mark Mode”. A dialog box will

appear asking to confirm your selection, click “Yes”.

5. The printer will feed media, detect the black marks, and eject the media. Press the

Feed button on the printer several times to confirm the printer is cutting directly in the

center of the black marks.

6. In the device settings tab of the Windows driver, set the media tracking to “Mark

Sensing”. If you revert back to Continuous mode, set the media tracking back to

Continuous or Variable.

For information on black mark media requirements, refer to the Hardware Integrator Guide

(P1028247).
