When the tear-off is valid, the printer monitors the print data for 0,5
second during or after printing, if print data is transmitted within 0.5
second during or after printing, the printer will start the next printing
without tear-off. (When data is received during printing, the time of
monitoring 0.5 second is not inserted.)
6.5.4 Tear-Off and type of data
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 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 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
the next printing without tear-off. (For details, see the Command
Reference.)
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 on, the following
initialization value is set in the printer.
Initialization value: fnnn = f701 (70.1 mm)
The values higher or lower will increase or decrease the amount of
feeding in the tear-off function.
