Printer Output	This set of commands will print 6 labels, with 2 labels between cuts.
Special Notes	1.	You must have the optional printer Cutter installed to use this
		function. Contact your SATO representative for more information
	2.	To use this command, you must have the cutter enabled.
	3.	If the cut value is set at aaaa = 0000, the cutter is inactive.
	4.	When using the Cuttter command, the total number of labels
		printed is the product of the cut value times the print quantity. For
		example, if the cut value is 2 and the print quantity is 20, then 40
		(20 sets of 2) labels will be printed.
	5.	Sending a Cutter command to a printer without a cutter installed
		will enable the Backfeed operation.
