Example: <ESC>~A2
Placement: Preceding the <ESC>Q Print Quantity command.
Default: <ESC>~A1 (if cutter enabled)
Command Function To control the cutting of labels when using a SATO cutter unit with the
printer printer. This command allows the cutting of a multi-part tag or
label at a specified interval within a print job. It differs from the
<ESC>~ Cut Job command in that it does not interact with the
quantity command.
Input to Printer:
~A0002
Printer Output: This set of commands will print seven labels with two labels between
each cut. One label will be left in the printer.
Special Notes 1. You must have the optional printer Cutter to use this function.
Contact your SATO representative for more information.
2. To use this command, the printer configuration must have the
cutter option enabled. See Configuration Commands in this
section of the manual.
3. If the cutter option has been enabled in the printer configuration
and the cut value (a = 0), the cutter is inactive.
4. This command is independent of the <ESC>Q Quantity command.
It will cut the specified number of labels. If a printed label is left in
the printer after the last cut, the <ESC>~B Cut/Eject command
can be used to cut it.
