Perforated Line - SATO 9001226(A) Service Manual

Section 8: Appendix

8.14 PERFORATED LINE

Some media have perforated line between or at the center of tags so as to fold or tear by hand.
The printer determines the print and cut positions in accordance with the media size detected by the sensor
(transmissive or reflective). However, a sensor malfunction may occur because of a perforated line.
To prevent the sensor malfunction, the printer distinguishes between a mark (a hole of 2.6mm, 0.1", approx.
20 dots), I-mark (3mm, 0.12", approx. 24 dots) and a perforated line (0.5mm, 0.02", approx. 4 dots).
