7.4 Printing area
In order to print ticket containing only one black mark and to not overlay printing to a black mark (that will make it useless
for the next alignment), it is important to well calibrate:
•
the length of the printing area of ticket according to the inter-black mark distance;
• the value for the paper recovery after a cut.
The following igure shows an example of tickets with “Black mark distance” set to 0.

Printing line Printing line Cutting line Cutting line
A “Non-printable area” of 1 mm generated from:
“Distance between autocutter/print head”- “Value for the paper recovery after a cut”
where:
“Distance between autocutter/print head” = 20 mm (ixed distance)
“Value for the paper recovery after a cut”= 19 mm
For models KPM180H STD, KPM180H STD 300, TK180 MET, TK180 MET UHF, TK180 PLAS, TK180 PLAS UHF,
the distance A is ixed.
For models KPM180H LL, KPM180H LL UHF, KPM180H PRES, KPM180H PRES UHF, TK180 MET PRES,
TK180 MET PRES UHF, use the command 0x1C 0xC1 in CUSTOM/POS emulation to set the “Value for the
paper recovery after a cut” (see the commands manual).
H Distance between the irst and the last print line, called “Height of the printing area”.
L Distance between an edge of the black mark and the next one, called “Inter-black mark distance”.
D Automatic feed for alignment at the next black mark.
To use all the black marks on paper, you must comply with the following equation:
H + A ≤ L
The height of the printing area (H) can be increased to make no progress on alignment (D) but no further.
