Available black mark paper specifications

- If you use black mark paper, be sure to adjust the sensor position so that the BM sensor overlaps the black mark. For detailed guidance, use Media Settings in Star Quick Setup Utility.
- If you use pre-printed paper, do not perform pre-printing within the area where the BM sensor passes on the back side of the paper. Be sure to fully verify operation beforehand.

An example of using specially-shaped die cut label paper
When using the BM sensor
Make sure to use paper whose liner cannot be seen with no gap between the label paper and the black mark.
When the black mark detection is "Enabled", if a liner-only part passes the black mark sensor, printing may be stopped as it is determined to have no paper, or paper may not be cut at the correct position.

When using the GAP sensor
Use paper whose center meets the gap interval specifications for paper that passes the GAP sensor.
If paper with a gap in an area other than the cut position is used, it may not be cut at the correct position.
