SET CUTTER - Auto-Cutter Mode

ConfigurationUnsupported

Plain English

Configures the optional auto-cutter (TSPL2 PG §SET p133). OFF disables the cutter; BATCH cuts once at the end of a print batch; a numeric argument cuts every N labels. Persistent across power cycles. Only effective on cutter-equipped printers — sending this to a non-cutter model is a recognised no-op.

When to use

Once at the top of a label-batch script on cutter-equipped printers. Pair with PRINT for predictable cut points.

Syntax

SET CUTTER OFF | SET CUTTER BATCH | SET CUTTER <pieces>
