10.4 Printing area
In order to print ticket containing only one notch and to not overlay printing to a notch (that will make it useless for the
next alignment), it is important to well calibrate:
• The height of the printing area of ticket according to the inter-notch distance
• The value for the paper recovery after a cut
The following fi gure shows an example of tickets with “Notch Distance” set to 0:

A “Non-printable area” = “Distance between cutter/printing head” - “Value for the paper recovery after
a cut”
where:
“Distance between cutter/printing head” = 30mm (fi xed distance)
“Value for the paper recovery after a cut” = 29mm
In ESC/POS™ Emulation use the command $1C $C1 to set the “Value for the paper recovery after a cut”
(see manual controls).
H Distance between the fi rst and the last print line, called “Height of the printing area”.
L Distance between an edge of the notch and the next one, called “Inter-notch distance”.
D Automatic feed for alignment at the next notch.
To use all the notches on the card, you must comply with the following equation:
H + A ≤ L
The height of the printing area (H) can be increased to make no progress on alignment (D = 0) but no further.
