command is shown as follows:
the beginning print-position offset = (Q- Q
0
)/0.176+ tearing/cutting position offset
Note: When setting the beginning print-position offset, the parameter “a” of “GS
（
F” command
should be “1”.

GS
r Transmit printer status
Format: ASCII: GS r n
Decimal: 29 114 n
Hex: 1D 72 n
[Description]
This command is effective at serial interface.
If n=1 or n=49, paper status is returned. If paper is present, the bit2, 3 of the returned byte is 0; if paper is
not present, the bit 2, 3 of the returned byte is 1.
GS
V Select cut mode and cut paper
Format: ASCII: GS V m n
Decimal: 29 86 m n
Hex: 1D 56 m n
[Description]
m=66, 0
≤ n ≤ 255
When m=66, paper is fed to the position (cutting po n*1/144 inch) and paper is cut partially (only
valid with auto-cutter type). But if the black mark is effective, the value of n is ineffective. The distance of
paper feed is decided by the command of “GS ( F”.
Format: ASCII: GS V m

[Description]
When m=1 or m=49, paper is fed to the cutting position and cut partially (only valid with auto-cutter type).
