Printer Cutter

Post by sonny63 »

Does anyone know the code to make the IDP3551 printer cut at the end of the tickets?

Who makes that printer? Did you try others from the same manufacturer if they are there? Can it emulate Epson? Try the Epson settings. I had a generic printer that I did this for. If not you will need to get this information from your printer supplier or the manufacturer.

Check the manual for the escape sequence to trigger the cutter.

If it is in hex (eg. 0x2E) post the codes here and I will then post the translation into what POS Pizza wants to see. You can also use the built-in calculator in Windows (in programmer mode) to translate the hex numbers to decimal.

If they're in decimal you can simply put each of the numbers (0-255) inside of curly braces { }

Only put one number per set of braces so that the value does not exceed the range above. So if you saw a code like 27 12 10 it would be represented as {27}{12}{10}.

If you cannot find these in your printer manual, you may need to contact the manufacturer directly or contact the supplier.

The first code translates to: {27}{100}{0}

The second one: {27}{105}

Create a new Printer Definition (or edit an existing one), and put this code in the Job End / Cut Sequence field, and save the profile. Once the profile has been saved, assign it to that printer in your local config settings.
