Yes, read the manual and send the cutter command to the printer. I did for Zebra printer at the moment when I initiated this project.

Hi, you right.. sorry for not closing this issue.. i dont have computer until now...

I try to use the cutter but it doesn't cut... in the manual say this

GS V Select cut mode and cut paper
Format: ASCII: GS V m (n)
Decimal: 29 86 m (n)
Hex: 1D 56 m (n)
Description:
(There is only one cut mode can be selected if the cutter can only realize one cut type.)

m=0, 48; No n parameter, Executes a full cut.
m=1, 49; No n parameter, Executes a partial cut (with one point left in the middle).
m=6, n=0255; Feed paper to n_(horizontal or vertical motion unit) and executes a full cut.
m=66, n=0255; Feed paper to n_(horizontal or vertical motion unit) and executes a partial cut.

my code is this and doesnt work

var INITIAL_PRINTER = '\x1B\x40';
var PAPER_CUTTING = '\x1D\x56\x49';

function printZebra(barcode_text, printer_name){
printer.printDirect({data: new Buffer(INITIAL_PRINTER) + template + new Buffer(PAPER_CUTTING) + new Buffer(INITIAL_PRINTER)
, printer: 'EC_Printer_EC-80320:4'
, type: "RAW"
, success:function(){
console.log("printed: "+barcode_text);
}
, error:function(err){console.log(err);}
});
}

Use node.js Buffer if you want to send bytes.

Sorry, I missed that you already used Buffer. What about m variable? Is it in hex or in dec? I think you need to convert in hex, or you can send to buffer am array of dec values.
