Plain English

Configures the partial-cutter accessory (TSPL2 PG §SET PARTIAL_CUTTER p134). Sibling of `SET CUTTER` — partial cut leaves a small tab so the next label hangs from the previous, useful for catalog/peel-off workflows. OFF disables the partial 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 partial-cutter-equipped hardware — sending this to a non-cutter model is a recognised no-op.

When to use

On printers with a partial-cutter accessory when the workflow needs labels to hang together for downstream picking/peeling.

Syntax

SET PARTIAL_CUTTER OFF | SET PARTIAL_CUTTER BATCH | SET PARTIAL_CUTTER <pieces>
