Appendix Fanfold Tag (Hole, Oblong Hole, Cutout) Paper feed direction Holes, oblong holes, and cutouts for paper detection Paper Reference line Reference line Reference line When paper cannot be used because its holes, oblong holes, or cutouts for paper detection are not detected, it may be possible to use the paper by adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor or the threshold for label detection.

However, the allowable dimensions of cutouts do not vary depending on the distance from the paper's reference line.
