Miscellaneous Function Commands - Epson TM-T88 Information Manual

When m=66 in GS V m n, the printer feeds the paper to (cutting position + n × vertical motion unit)
and executes a partial cut (one point left uncut). For TM-T85/T85P, when m=65, the printer feeds the
paper to (cutting position + n × vertical motion unit) and executes a full cut. The vertical motion unit
is specified by GS P. The default setting of the vertical motion unit is 1/360 inch.
The value of m selects the mode for GS V m and GS V m n as follows:
m
0, 48 Full cut (cuts the paper completely)
1, 49 Partial cut (one point left uncut)
65 Feeds paper to (cutting position + n x vertical motion unit)
and cuts the paper completely
66 Feeds the paper to (cutting position + n x vertical motion
unit) and cuts the paper partially (one point left uncut)
ESC i executes a partial cut of the paper with one point left uncut. ESC i operates in the same way as
GS V when m=1 or 49. GS V is preferred for cutting paper because ESC i is not a recommended
command. ESC i is supported only by TM-T85/T85P.
