6.5.4 Tear-off andtype of data
When the tear-off is valid,the printer monitors the print data for 0.5 second
during orafter printing. If print data is transmitted within 0.5 second duringor
after printing, the printer will start next printing without tear-off. (When data is
received duringprinting, the time of monitoring 0.5 second is not inserted.)
The commands for this printer are mainly classified into the immediately
execution commands starting with "SOH" and the sequentially execution
commands starting with "STX." In the tear-off function, only the
sequentially execution commands related to print processing contents are
monitored but theimmediately execution commands are not monitored.
Therefore, evenif the printer status or the remainingnumber of print sheets
is read out by using the immediately executioncommands during printing,
the tear-off will be performed after printing. On the other hand, if the
sequentially execution commands are used during printing or within 0.5
second after printing to transmit print-related data, the printer will start next
printing withouttear-off. (For details, see the CommandReference.)
6.5.5 Cut position adjustments
• The cut position can be set with the "fnnn" of the system-level
commands. When the tear-off function is turned o n, the following
initialization value is set in the printer.
Initializationvalue: fnnn = f733 (73.3 mm)
The values higher or lower wi ll increase or decrease the amount of feed
in the tear-off.
