“Paper with Black Mark” has small black blocks (the black marks) on both sides or in the middle of the paper at constant intervals. After selecting “Paper with Black Mark”, set the position of black mark correctly according to the paper, and set the cutting position and printing position according to your application.
“Cut Position” specifies the distance above the top of the black mark to cut paper in mm. Specify a negative value makes the cut position below the top of the black mark. The valid value ranges from -100.0 ~ 25.0 mm.
“Print Position” specifies how many millimeters below the paper cutting position to start printing. You cannot specify to start printing above the paper cutting position. The value range that can be set is 10.0 ~ 100.0 mm.

Paper Not Taken
After a ticket has been printed and cut, if the cut paper is not taken away, the alarm light on the printer will keep blinking. You can set whether to play voice reminder and whether printing is allowed on paper not taken.
