1.3.2 Black Mark Paper
When black mark paper is used, the printing position of the black mark paper must be located on
the front surface. The reflectivity of the black mark should be less than 15%, while the reflectivity of
the rest of the printing paper should be greater than 85%. The area between 2 black marks should
be blank. The size of the black mark shall meet the requirements as shown below.
5mm<L1 (the width of the black mark) <10mm
L2(the length of the black mark) >12mm
20mm<L3(the distance between 2 black marks) <500mm
1.3.3 Notes
Please use the recommended thermal paper or same quality paper, otherwise it will influence
the printing quality and decrease the thermal printer head life.
Don’t stick the paper on the roll paper core.
If the thermal paper is polluted by chemical or oil, the thermal paper heat sensibility decreases,
which will influence the printing quality.
Don’t use finger nail or hard articles to touch the surface of thermal paper, otherwise it will
cause color fading.
When the environment temperature is higher than 70°C, the thermal paper color will fade, so
pay attention to the influence of temperature, humidity and sunlight.
