
Do not use the paper with a hole or cutout.

Autocutting on the perforated lines may generate minute paper dust, causing machine
problems. Also, autocutting ahead of the perforated line may cause problems when
feeding paper. Therefore, autocutting must be performed 0.5 mm to 1 mm {0.02 to
0.039"} behind the perforated line.

Black marks must position away at least 0.5 mm {0.02"} from the perforated line.

The perforated lines on both sides of the paper edge must be left uncut.

Make sure to keep the same position of the black marks to the perforated lines (position
that can be detected by black mark sensor) when inserting the paper from either side in
order to use the paper inserting from reverse direction.
