^A ^D COMMAND
X 99 Cutter Control: This command enables full and/or partial cut operation.
This command works in conjunction with the ^D102 and ^D103 Cut Interval
commands. The ^D95 command is also used with the ^D99 command to
adjust the advance distance to the cutter blades and then retract to the home
position (dot row one). The ^D99 command will assume a default ^D95 value
of 155.
0 Disable Cutter operation.
1 Enable Full Cut.
2 Enable Partial Cut.
3 Enable Full and Partial Cut.
100 Clear User RAM: This command clears all the downloaded fonts and graphics
that have been stored in RAM. This command does not affect fonts and
graphics that have been downloaded and stored into the FONT flash memory.
Use the ^D17 to erase FONT flash memory.
101 Send User RAM Available: The printer will send the number of free or
available bytes to the serial port (i.e. >192480<).
Use the D119 command for more detailed reporting.
XX 102 Full Cut Interval: Instructs the printer when to issue a Full Cut. The default
value is 1. If it is set to a value of "1" the printer will full cut whenever the
copies count has been reached or after each format if a copies count has not
been specified. If this command is set higher than "1" (maximum of 65536),
the printer will full cut when that quantity has been reached. This command
will not operate if the Cutter Control (^D99) command is set to partial cut.
XX 103 Partial Cut Interval: This command instructs the printer when to issue a
Partial Cut. A partial cut requires the use of a Cutter that is capable of Partial
cuts. Partial Cut is when a thin piece of the media, in the center, holds the
media together and the printer waits until the media is removed before printing
the next label. The default Partial Cut Interval is set to 1. The printer will issue
a partial cut, if set to a 1, whenever the copies count is reached. If set to a
value greater than 1, the printer will partial cut when that quantity has been
reached. This command only functions when the Cutter Control (^D99)
command is set to allow partial cuts.
XX 104 Save ASCII Fonts to RAM:
The ^Axx specifies which memory file # (CGN #) the FONT will use (1-255).
This command should be used with an ASCII-HEX file that contains only
printable characters less than 80 HEX. These FONTS are "extended non-
compressed", meaning that they can be greater than 64KB. This command
supports fonts greater than 64KB.
XX 105 Delete Graphics from RAM
^A0 deletes ALL graphics from RAM.
