Mark Type2; Scan Range Necessary To Detect The Registration Mark - GRAPHTEC FC8000 Series User Manual

MARK TYPE 2
MARK TYPE2 is used when you would like to use as much area
possible on the media as cutting area. The registration mark is
inside the cutting area, so set the MARK DISTANCE so plotted
image will not be mistaken as a registration mark. Also, you can not
cut close to the registration mark (right image).
Do not plot image in the area where the sensor moves to scan
the registration mark when the MARK DISTANCE is not used so it
will not read the image while detecting the registration mark (left
image).
