TTP 1020™/TTP 1030™ Technical Manual

Since the same sensor is used for both paper end and black-mark detection, the printer must
know the length of the black-mark to avoid signaling end-of-paper when it detects a black-
mark. The default setting accepts black-marks in the range 3 –16 mm, and works perfect with
the recommended black-mark length of 5 mm. Marks shorter than 3 mm are interpreted as dirt,
and marks longer than 16 mm as out-of-paper. You can change both these values with a printer
command, or in TTP 1030, by changing the printer default settings in the flash PROM.
