  • Page 40: Precautions In Inputting Data With Registration Marks

    Precautions in inputting data with registration marks There are some limitations on preparing data with registration marks. In order to make full use of this function, read the following instructions carefully and prepare data with registration marks properly. • The registration mark described here is intended to detect the sheet inclination and the lengths along the A and B axes.
  • Page 41 Cut Out Data with Registration Mark No-plotting area around the registration marks An area around a registration mark (from the mark origin to the mark size area) is a non-plotting area. There must be no data plotted or stain in this area; otherwise, a wrong origin may be detected or a mark read error can occur.
  • Page 42 The size of, and the distance between, registration marks The size (B) of a registration mark suited for the distance (A) between the marks is as shown below. If the mark size (B) is too small relative to the distance (A), the marks may not be detected correctly. Be sure to prepare the registration marks with an appropriate size.
  • Page 43 Cut Out Data with Registration Mark Recommended size of the area defined with a set of four registration marks It is recommended that the size of the area defined with a set of four registration marks is in the range of A4 size (210 mm x 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm x 420 mm).

  • Page 48 SKEW CHECK Setting Description 0 ～ 99mm Set the allowable range of the sheet feeding error when performing continuous copy. During continuous copying on a roll sheet, copies may be misaligned little by little because of sheet skewing. If the error in the B-axis coordinate of the TP1 mark has exceeded the allowable range, cutting operation is temporally stopped.
