1 Enable Kiosk Cutter Mode.
2 Enable Partial Kiosk cut mode.
4 Enable Full 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.
^A ^D COMMAND
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
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.
2 Enable Partial Cut.
3 Enable Full and Partial Cut.
XX 102 Full Cut Interval: Instructs the printer when to issue a Full Cut. The default
value is 1. A value of “1” results in a full cut whenever the copies count is
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 is 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. A Partial Cut leaves a thin piece of media in the center after the cut
cycle is finished. This small piece of uncut stock holds the media together and
the printer waits until the media is removed before printing the next label. The
