Area where register marks and designs
can be arranged
The placeable range for the register mark and the image
is as follows.
• Set the start position of the register mark at 100 mm or more
from the media front end.
• Set the end position of the register mark at 110 mm or more
from the media rear end.
• When the data is copied by using RasterLink, make sure to
leave a space of 210 mm or larger at the tail end of the sheet.

No-plotting area around the register
marks
The area around a register mark (from the mark origin to
the mark size area) is a non-plotting area. There must be
no data plotted and no stains in this area; otherwise, the
origin may be detected incorrectly or a mark read error
could occur.
Incorrect detection example 1
When there is a line outside the register marks
Incorrect detection example 2
When the distance between register marks (TP2 and TP1
or TP4 and TP2) is smaller than the mark length (for Type
2)
