5.6 Black Mark Parameters

This printer uses tractors to load fanfold forms with pre-printed black marks.
The printer requires 3 parameters to print on paper with black marks:
1. Horizontal offset of black mark from the edge of page (called Black Mark Physical
Horizontal Position); later on, this value facilitates the printer to locate its scanner
preparing for identifying the black marks.
2. Vertical offset of the first print line from the black mark (called Distance Offset From
BlackMark To Print Position); later on, the print makes use of this value to print the first
line relative to the black mark.
3. Vertical offset of the tear-off edge from the black mark (called Distance Offset From
BlackMark To Tear Position); this value informs the printer the tear-off position of the
page.
