Kiosk Cutter Commands

5.9.2.1

Kiosk Cutter Mode

This is a non-volatile command that enables cutter operation. When a printer is configured
to use the ^D111, the printer prints a job, dispenses the advance distance (See ^D112), and
then cuts the media. The media is not retract until the next format which helps to prevent
paper jams going into the cutter or media wrapping around the platen roller.

0 Disable Kiosk Cutter Mode.
1 Enable Kiosk Cutter Mode.
2 Enable Partial Kiosk cut mode.
5.9.2.2

Kiosk Cutter Advance Distance Command

This command sets the advance/retract distance for the Kiosk Cutter (^D111) Mode. This is
the distance that the printer will advance after printing to control the cut placement. The
same distance will be used to retract the media to the print head for printing once the next
job is sent.
XX 112 Kiosk Cutter Advance/Retract Distance Command: The valid range is from
0 to 1000 with the recommended distance of 150.
5.9.3

Volatile Cutter Operation

^A ^D COMMAND
8 Cycle Cutter: If a cutter is installed on the printer, this command will cause
the cutter to be cycled. The cutter's operation will be determined by the D99
command. If the cutter is a rotary cutter, it will always cycle in the forward
direction to make a full cut. If the cutter is a guillotine cutter, the cycle
direction will be determined by the last setting given with a D99 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.
Note: When doing partial cuts with a LPD, the printer will not proceed until the
LPD sees that the label has been taken. Then after a programmable delay,
the printer will retract and print the next label.
0 Disable Cutter operation.
1 Enable Full Cut.
