8. END MARK DETECTION FUNCTION
8-3. Printing the End Mark
Set only one end mark for solid printing (black) using a laser printer.
For marks positioned along the vertical (paper feed) direction, the center is the standard
position. But the setting can be changed by entering the desired position using numbers.
(Refer to “8-2. Setting the End Mark Detection Function”.)
Marks positioned along the horizontal direction must be in the area from less than 10 mm (0.39")
to more than 20 mm (0.79") from the paper edge of the non-operating side. Printing thickness
must be 1.2 to 2.0 mm (0.05" to 0.08").
Be sure to set a area where nothing else except for the end mark can be printed within 10 mm
(0.39") from the center of the end mark in the vertical (paper feed) direction.
Also do not print anything in the 2 mm (0.08") area from the paper tip.
Do not print the end mark in the area measuring 30 mm (1.18") from the tip or end of the paper,
and outside the area measuring 300 mm (11.81") from the tip of the paper.
Do not print the end mark in the double-feed detection area indicated in “13-5. (1) (d) Setting
the position for starting the double-feed detection”. Misdetection may occur if the position
of the end mark overlaps with the double-feed detection area.

NOTE
:
Use white paper for printing end marks.
When other types (especially dark paper) are used, the end mark may not be read.
When using the random binding function, do not print anything in the above printing prohibited areas on all
sheets (pages), and print the end mark only on the last page.
Determine the end mark state in the test feeding before continuous operations. If using the number/set check
function with the double-feed detection method set to “Sheet” or random binding function, perform test
feeding using paper already printed with the end mark. If end mark errors occur frequently during
processing, recheck the settings of the end mark and perform test feeding again.
