[A]
The cutter unit uses a sliding rotary cutting blade [A] which is pulled past a fixed
blade by a drive wire. The rotary cutting blade allows the cutter unit to cut paper
in both directions. There are home position switches [B] at both ends of the cutter
unit. The cutter motor turns off, stopping the cutting action, when the rotary
cutting blade knob plate [C] turns off one of these switches.
