NOTE
Printing data in the light-grey filled areas is possible, but may 
affect paper feed accuracy.
Print specifications do not apply to the last sheet of paper.
In setting print formats, take note that printing data beyond 
printing areas may impair print quality or adversely affect the 
printer.
Each horizontal perforation is to be accurately at the centre of 
the space between paper feed holes. Placing horizontal 
perforations close to paper feed holes causes the paper to 
peel, and carriage snagging on the paper may occur.
Do not attempt to save paper by allowing the sprocket holes in 
the last page to come off the pin tractor sprockets.
