Mechanism Control Commands

Function Select cut mode and cut paper
ASCII [GS] V <m> <n>
Hexadecimal 1DH 56H <m> <n>
Decimal <29> <86> <m> <n>
Description When <m> = 1 or 49, <n> is not used and a partial cut is performed. When <m>
= 66, [GS] V <m> <n> executes a partial cut (one point left uncut) after paper is
fed [cutting position (<n> x approximately 1/144 inch)].
command, there is a gap between the auto-cutter position and the print position.
The [GS] V <m> <n> command is only effective when input at the beginning of a
line. The [GS] V <m> <n> command executes paper feeding to the manual
cutting position.
This command will automatically feed paper to the black dot after any encoded
paper feed and before the auto cut. After the cut, the printer will relocate the
paper to prevent the sticky part of the label from coming to rest at a point that
may cause it to stick to internal parts of the printer.
Note: Defeating the alignment to the black dot or using paper without
black dots on sticky back paper will void the printer warrantee.
Note: If the printer does not have black dot paper installed the auto cut will
not attempt to feed to black dot.
Function Partial knife cut
ASCII [ESC] i
Hexadecimal 1BH 69H
Decimal <27> <105>
Description The [ESC] i command performs a partial knife cut.
This command will automatically feed paper to the black dot before the auto cut.
After the cut, the printer will relocate the paper to prevent the sticky part of the
label from coming to rest at a point that may cause it to stick to internal parts of
the printer.
Note: Defeating the alignment to the black dot or using paper without
black dots on sticky back paper will void the printer warrantee.
Note: If the printer does not have black dot paper installed the auto cut will
not attempt to feed to black dot.
