11.4 Printing area
In order to print ticket containing only one notch/b.mark and to not overlay printing to a notch/b.mark (that will make it use-
less for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate:
• the length of the printing area of ticket according to the inter-notch distance;
• the value for the paper recovery after a cut.

A “Non-printable area” generated from:
“Distance between cutter/printing head”- “Value for the paper recovery after a cut”
where:
“Value for the paper recovery after a cut”= 9 mm (in CUSTOM/POS emulation)
24 mm (in SVELTA emulation)
In CUSTOM/POS emulation, after a performed cut, the paper is not completely recovered (in order to avoid jam-
ming when using of thin paper). Otherwise, in this emulation you can use the command 0x1C 0xC1 to modify the
“Value for the paper recovery after a cut” (see commands manual).
avoids the risk of paper jams. After performing a cut, the device completely recovers the paper
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 paper, you must comply with the following equation:
The height of the printing area (H) can be increased to make no progress on alignment (D) but no further.
