When printing and cutting, it is necessary to attach registration marks (alignment marks) to the printed image so
the cutter will know exactly where to begin cutting around the printed image.
Correct reading of the printed registration marks requires a margin between the printe area and the marks.
When printing on sheet media, the following margins are required.
Leading edge
MARK TYPE 1
MARK TYPE 2 17mm or more
When printing on roll media, it is necessary to provide a margin of 6
mm or more between the registration mark of the first sheet and the
registration mark of the second sheet. In addition, margins of 15 mm
or more must be provided at the left and right edges.

several mm.
