Example:
Activate watermark printing using logo #F1 (1F 03 16 02 s r) with “s” being the skip distance in dot rows before
activation and “r” is the distance in mm between watermark repetitions.
After executing a knife-cut command and the f = 1 steps, if s > 0, execute the following:
Skip “• s” (feed paper) dot rows (15 s command)
Set watermark printing to “on” using logo F1 (execute merge watermark mode -1D 8C • r F1 command). Logo
must be dened for F1 and comply with watermark mode requirements in order for this happen.
Stop background merging mode (1D 9B 1 command). Clears background for logos, barcodes, and captured •
images.
The watermarks feature is now activated (following an optional F0 logo) to start after each knife cut. Note that when
printing graphic objects, merging is turned o by each knife cut. The default value is s = 0 and turns o the f = 2
watermark link.
No correlation exists (when both are set) between watermark and logo skip distances.
If the f = 4 logo link is undened, you should set a null trailer logo with s = 1 and p = 144 (1F 03 16 04 1 90, no logo
at index F3). This will turn o watermarks at the position of a knife cut and leave a clear space at the top of the next
receipt.
f = 3 link margin message printing
Example:
Activate margin message printing using logo #F2 (1F 03 16 03 s r t) with “s being the skip distance, “r” the distance
between repetitions and “t” the toggle mode.
Toggle mode values for t:
0 = both left and right side
1 = toggle sides, starting with left side
2 = right side margin message only
3 = left margin message only
After executing a knife cut command and the f=1 steps, if s > 0, execute the following:
• skip“s” dot rows (=15 s command). When both watermark and margin message merging are dened, the
respective “s” values are treated independently. The same value should be used to start watermark and
margin message at the same place.
• Usethetogglemodevalueslistedabovetoapplymarginmessagefortheleftand/orrightside.Foramargin
message on both sides, enter the 1D 99 1 F2 p 0 command followed by the 1D 99 t’ F2 r t’ (apply margin
message) command with the logo at index F2 dened.

The margin message printing feature is activated after the header logo after a restart at each knife-cut. Note that when
printing graphic objects, merging is turned o by each knife cut. No correlation exists (when both are set) between
watermark and logo skip distances.
If the f = 4 logo link is undened, you should set a null trailer logo with s = 1 and p = 144 (1F 03 16 04 1 90, no logo at
index F3). This will turn o margin message at the position of a knife cut and leave a clear space at the top of the next
receipt.
