Figure B.11 clearly shows why the alignment distance (Notch Distance) cannot exceed the notch sensor-
head distance. The moment that the notch sensor detects a notch, the head is already mechanically posi-
tioned 32 mm upstream of the of the notch in order therefore for it to align itself with this notch, as a refer-
ence the paper can only be fed forward, and so reduce the distance already there.
