Contact your SATO representative for more information.
2. To use this command, the printer configuration must have the cutter
option enabled. See Printer Configuration in Section 2 of this
manual.
3. If the cutter option has been enabled in the printer configuration
and the cut value (aa = 00), the cutter is inactive.
The <NUL> represents the ASCII 00 Hex character. A "~" (tilde)
characte may be substituted for the <NUL> character in this
command.
4. When using the Cutter command, the total number of labels printed
is the product of the cut value and the print quantity. For example,
if the cut value is 2, and the print quantity is 20, then 20 sets of
two labels will be printed.
