6.5.4 Tear-off and type of data When the tear-off is valid, the printer monitors the print data for 0.5 seco nd
during or after printing. If print data is transmitted within 0.5 second during or
after printing, the printer will start next printing without tear-off. (When data is
received during printing , 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 the immediately execution commands are not monitored.
Therefore, even if the printer status or the remaining number of print sheets
is read out by using the immediately execution commands during printing,
the tear-off will be performed after pri nting. 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 without tear-off. (For details, see the Command Reference
manual.)
･ T he cut po siti on can b e set wi th the "f nnn" of the system-level
commands. When the tear-off function is turned on, the following
initialization value is set in the printer .
