Format
● The transportation holes must be exactly round and precisely
punched. The rim may be toothed.
● The paper must be folded alternately along the horizontal perfo-
ration. Do not use paper lying in loops because problems with
the paper feed may occur. Also avoid waves and wrinkles
(mainly occurring with the first and last sheets of a new paper
stack). Do not use these sheets.
● If the continuous paper is separated along the horizontal perfo-
ration, the separation rim must be straight, i.e. separation rims
and corners must not be wavy or wrinkled.
Cut sheets
The standard paper format is DIN A4 (210 x 297 mm). Other paper
formats (DIN A5, DIN B5, etc.) can also be used.
● The paper width (a) is between 88.9 and 216 mm (small printer)
and between 88.9 and 363 mm (large printer).
● The paper length (b) is 76 to 420 mm.
● The measurements for the non-printable area (g/h) are between
6.35 and 28.6 mm. For paper with a width of 304.8 mm the size
must be between 19.05 and 28.6 mm.
