Chapter 4 Cutting Data with Register Marks
113
Register Mark Size
The recommended register mark size (A) is within the range of A4 size (210 mm × 297 mm) to A3 size (297
mm × 420 mm). If the dimensions exceed A3, the machine may fail to detect register marks due to media
feeding problems (e.g., media meandering).
Standards for Register Mark Length and Line Width
Line width
Register mark length (B)
The recommended register mark length and line width are as shown below. The machine may fail to detect
register marks that lie outside the recommended range.
Register mark size (A) Register mark length (B) Line width
200 mm or less 5 mm 0.5 mm
201 to 500 mm 8 mm
501 to 1,000 mm 15 mm 1.0 mm
1,001 to 2,000 mm 25 mm
2,001 mm or more 35 mm
• If the "Fill around the registration marks" function of the RIP software is enabled, the register mark length
(B) should be 10 mm or more.
When Printing Register Marks Continuously
The register mark length (B) should be 8 mm or more. The machine may fail to detect register marks less
than 8 mm if it reads them continuously.
