10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes. Too
high（45℃）or too low（5℃） environment temperature and too high (85 ％) or too low
(20 ％) environment humidity both effect the printing quality. The printer
paper roll with poor quality or stored for too long time also may reduce the
printing quality even damage the printer. Under the black mark detecting
mode, the printer requires that the pre-printed black mark is accordant with
the printing rule of black mark (please refer to details in Chapter 4.2),
