No-Plotting Areas Around Register Marks
Do not plot data around register marks. The mark origins may be identified incorrectly, or the machine may
fail to detect the register marks.

Combined Operations of Printing and Cutting
When printing and cutting with MIMAKI software (RasterLink, FineCut), please note the following:
1. The mark size and mark shape settings configured in the machine will be disregarded. The software
settings will be applied.
2. We recommend printing and cutting using data with register marks. The volume of print data may affect
cutting accuracy.
3. Although it is possible to print and cut data without register marks using take-up units, doing so may
reduce cutting accuracy.
