C - Cut Immediate
Purpose: Use this command to make the cutter perform a cutting cycle without
printing a form.
Syntax: C
Remarks: The command C is used for two purposes. C appended by parameters
is used to define counters in the Form Edit mode, whereas C without
any appending parameters is used to initiate a cutting operation.
C (Cut Immediate) cannot be used inside a form or in connection
with a the Keyboard display unit.
To perform self-cleaning of the cutter blade, issue five consecutive C
commands without any media loaded.
Example:
To perform a cutting cycle, enter the command below:

^C - Exit Pause Printing Mode
Purpose: This high-priority command makes the printer exit the Pause
Printing mode, that is, continue printing the remainder of a print job
after having been temporarily stopped using a ^A command.
Syntax: ^C
Remarks: When the printer is in Pause Printing mode, the control LED slowly
blinks green, yellow, and green again. The reply at command US is by
default <XON> (can be changed using eR command). No reply at UN
command.
Another way to resume printing a batch is to press the Feed button.
This command can only be sent via the RS-232 or USB ports.
