Select Cut Mode and Cut Paper

This command selects a mode for cutting paper and cuts the paper. There are two formats for this command, one requiring one parameter m, the other requiring two parameters, m and n. The format is indicated by the parameter m.

ASCII	GS V m GS V m n
Hexadecimal	1D 56 m 1D 56 m n
Decimal	29 86 m 29 86 m n
Values	•m—selects the mode as described in the table. •n—determines the cutting position only if m is 65 or 66.

m	Feed and Cut Mode
0, 48	Full cut (no extra feed). Partial cut on the 7158/7167.
1, 49	Partial cut (no extra feed).
65	Feeds paper to cutting position + (n times vertical motion unit), and cuts the paper completely.
66	Feeds paper to cutting position + (n times vertical motion unit), and performs a partial cut.
Range	•m—0, 48; 1, 49 •m when used with n—65, 66 •n—0-255
Default Values	•m—0 •n—0

Formula

n times the vertical motion unit is used to determine the cutting position to the distance that the paper is fed.

Example:   

MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1D) & Chr$(&H56) & Chr$(m) & Chr$(n)

Exception

If m is out of the specified range, the command is ignored.
