    Chapter 4 Try cutting data with registration marks Register Mark Size The recommended register mark size (A) is within the range of A4 size (210 mm x 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm x 420 mm). If the dimensions exceed A3, the machine may fail to detect register marks due to media feeding problems (e.g., media meandering).

  • Page 100: Reading Range Of Register Marks

    This machine can detect register marks in the range shown below. If the margin is small, the edge of the media may be incorrectly identified as a register mark. When copying data with MIMAKI RIP software (RasterLink), leave a space of at least 210 mm from the rear edge of the media.
