Description:
Selects a mode for cutting paper and executes paper cutting. The value of m
selects the mode as follows:
m Print mode
0, 48 Executes a full cut (cuts the paper completely).
1, 49 Executes a partial cut (one point left uncut).
65 Feeds the paper forward to (cutting position + [n * vertical motion
unit]) and executes a full cut (cuts the paper completely).
66 Feeds the paper forward to (cutting position + [n * vertical motion
unit]) and executes a partial cut (one point left uncut).
67 Feeds the Paper forward to the cutting position, executes a full cut
and feeds the paper backward to (cutting position – [n * vertical
motion unit]).
Notes:
• When standard mode is selected, these commands are enabled only when
processed at the beginning of the line.
• When using these commands, there is a gap between the cutting position
and the printing position.
• Function 0, 1, 48, 49: If no autocutter is installed, this command feeds the
paper to the tear-off edge.
• Function 0, 1, 48, 49: Cut is executed without feeding the print position to
the cut position.
• Function 65, 66: To cut below the last printed line set n to 0.
• Function 65, 66: If n > 0, the printer feeds the paper to (cutting position +
[n * vertical motion unit]) and cuts it.
• Function 65, 66, 67: If n = 0, the printer feeds to the cutting position and
executes a full/partial cut
• Function 65, 66, 67: The distance between printing position and cutting
position is 17 mm.
• Function 65, 66, 67: If no autocutter is installed, the printer only feeds the
paper to the tear-off edge and additionally for specified amount.
• Function 65, 66, 67: Vertical motion unit is used for calculating a paper
feed amount.
