Tape Cutter Mechanism

The tape cut unit consists from the cutter case ASSY and the board.
Tape that finished printing is fed out from the tape cassette and stops at a point passed between
the cutter case ASSY and the board.
When the cutter lever is pushed at this point, then, the cutter case ASSY (cutter blade) is operated
to cut tape.
