THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTER
40
[Description] Selects a mode for cutting paper and executes paper cutting. The value of m
selects the mode as follows:
m
Print mode
0, 1, 49
Partial cut (one point left uncut)
66
Feeds paper (cutting po [
n
╳
(vertical motion unit)]), and cuts the paper partially (one
point left uncut).
[Details for

]
• This command is effective only processed at the beginning of a line.
[Details for
①
] • Only the partial cut is available; there is no full cut.
[Details for
②
] • When
n
= 0, the printer feeds the paper to the cutting position and cuts it.
• When
n
= 0, the printer feeds the paper to (cutting po [
n
╳
vertical
motion unit]) and cuts it.
• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by
GS P
.
• The paper feed amount is calculated using the vertical motion unit (y).
However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement
amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum horizontal movement
amount.

inches.
[Details] • This command is effective only processed at the beginning of the line.
• In page mode, the printer performs only internal flag operations.
• This command does not affect printing in page mode.
• If the [left printing area width] exceeds the printable area, [printable
area width - left margin) is used.
• The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by
GS P
. Changing the
horizontal and vertical motion units does not affect the current left margin.
• The horizontal motion unit ( x) is used for calculating the printing area width.
The calculated result is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
• If the width set for the printing area is less than the width of one character,
when the character data is developed, the following processing is performed:
①
The printing area width is extended to the right to accommodate one
character.
②
If the printing area width cannot be extended sufficiently, the left margin is
reduced to accommodate one character.
