Tearing or Cutting the Paper
PRESENT-AT Command
Remember to add a few extra Carriage Return/Line Feeds (CR/LF, or Enter) to the end of your receipt.
This will advance the paper enough to allow the receipt to be torn off without ripping through the last line
of text. After the printer is done advancing the paper, tear the paper off.
If your printer can move stock bi-directionally, the PRESENT-AT command will advance the paper enough
to rip off the receipt and not tear through the last line of text. Then, when the printer starts on the next
item, it will automatically retract the paper before printing to save on paper. Using PRESENT-AT without an
argument will set the units to advance to the default for that printer.
Use caution when implementing the PRESENT-AT command with preprinted media. The media may
not reposition itself exactly when it is retracted prior to resuming printing, and the amount of this error is
not repeatable from label to label . A buffer zone of 18 dots is recommended at the beginning and trailing
edge of each receipt if PRESENT-AT is used.
Format:
! U1 PRESENT-AT {units to advance after print}
or
! U1 PRESENT-AT
CUT-AT Command
For printers with a cutter, the CUT-AT command will advance the paper, cut, then retract back to not
waste paper. Using CUT-AT without any argument will set the units to advance to the default for that
printer.
Format:
! U1 CUT-AT {units to advance after print}
or
! U1 CUT-AT
