[Note for <A>] 

 

 

■ If an autocutter is not provided, this command is ignored. 

[Notes for <B>] 

 

 

■ When 

n 

= 0, the printer feeds the paper to the cutting position and cuts it. 

 

 

■ If an autocutter is not provided, the printer only feeds the paper for specified amount. 

 

 

■ Vertical motion unit is used for calculating a paper feed amount
