Avantra 36/44 Service Manual
NOTE:
The DC gear motor and the home switch can also be
replaced separately.
The cutter assembly consists of:
• Media platens
• Cutter bar
• Home switch
• DC gear motor
• Linkage
• Take-up media present sensor
Internal platens guide the media through the reciprocating cutter mechanism. A DC
gear motor, which attaches to the end of the cutter through linkage, drives the cut-
ter. One revolution of the motor output shaft causes the linkage to reciprocate the
cutting bar. A built-in sensor (a mechanical-micro switch) signals when the cutting
cycle completes. The media cutter assembly also includes the take-up media
present sensor.

2.14.6 Supply Cassette

The supply cassette is a daylight loadable cassette that accommodates a 250 foot
roll of 4 mil media in widths ranging from 16 to 36 inches. The cassette may be
adjusted continuously between these widths.
