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.

and the cut value (aaaa = 0000), the cutter is inactive.
The <NUL> represents the ASCII 00 Hex character and can be
interchanged with a tilde character.
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
