Synchronization - Page integrity marks (PIM) for perforated
paper
Introduction
A page integrity mark (PIM) is used exclusively as the synchronization mark for
perforated paper. It is printed between the margin holes and then removed later when
the paper is cut. Each PIM is 50.8 mm (= 2 inches) in height and 10 mm in width.
The proper positioning of pages is carried out by a pulse measurement via the spike
wheel. As a result, no additional positioning marks need to be created.

N1, N2: Vertical position of the PIM
The spacing from the upper margin of the page to the PIM is given in
increments.
The minimum space is 2 increments, i.e. the PIM is positioned after the 2nd hole.
The length of the mark is 2 inches (4 holes).
The maximum value depends on the values set in the menu 'VarioStream' ->
'Configuration' -> 'Paper' -> 'Dimensions' -> 'Paper length'.
In simplex mode, the PIM of the 2nd printer must be positioned behind the mark
of the 1st printer.
