5.3.7.1 Paper Cutting Position Check

Check the paper cutting position which has been adjusted as instructed in the previous
section, by cutting paper actually.
Cutter Positioning Adjustment
1. Set paper (minimum size: about 10 cm wide x 20 cm) in the paper path along the paper
setting position on the right side of the printer, then move the paper set lever to the
front to hold the paper.
2. Move the CR manually to the right edge of the paper, then lower the cutter manually.
3. While holding the bottom edge of the paper with one hand, cut the paper with the
cutter.
4. set a gauge with minimum measuring units of 0.5 mm at the edge of the cutter level
difference on the sub-platen and check if the distance from the edge of the cutter level
difference to the actual paper cutting position is within 0.5 mm (+0.1/–0.2mm).
5. If the measuring results are outside the standard, loosen the 3 screws holding the paper
guide L, then carry out fine adjustment of the paper guide L's assembly position.
The length from the edge of the cutter level difference to the
C H E C K
front edge of the paper where it was actually cut should be
P O I N T
within 0.5 mm (+0.1/–0.2mm).
If you are adjusting the assembly position of the paper guide L,
the installation screws that are loosened should be the absolute
minimum number of screws necessary to adjust the position. If
a large number of screws is loosened, the assembly position of
the paper guide L will shift a great distance from the original
adjustment position, so caution should be exercised.
6. In the same way, set paper on the left side of the printer, cut the paper manually and
measure the length from the cutter level difference to the front edge of the paper. If the
measurement results are not within the standard, loosen about 3 of the screws holding
the paper guide L and carry out fine adjustment of the paper guide L's assembly
position.
