    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 × 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm × 420 mm). If the dimensions exceed A3, the machine may fail to detect register marks due to media feeding problems (e.g., media meandering).
