Auto cutting operation
The autocutter will operate when the frame platen unit is closed and a paper is loaded. (The
frame platen unit can be closed when the movable cutter blade, full, H is in the standby
position. The auto cutting operation is performed in the following steps:
1. Drive the motor, cutter, H in the forward rotation.
2. The microswitch is switched from OFF (open) to ON (closed), while the motor, cutter, H
continues to rotate in the forward rotation. The movable cutter blade, full, H intersects
with the fixed cutter blade, H and cuts the paper from the right to the left, to the direction
of the first column.
3. After cutting the paper, the movable cutter blade, full, H starts to return to the home
position.
4. As the movable cutter blade, full, H approaches the home position, the microswitch is
switched from ON (close) to OFF (open); then the motor, cutter, H stops rotating and the
brake is applied.
