7-3. Releasing a Locked Cutter (Auto Cutter Mode only)
If the auto cutter locks up or fails to cut the paper, follow the steps below.
WARNING
Since working on the cutter may be dangerous, be sure to turn off the printer first.
(1) Set the power switch to OFF to turn off the printer.
(2) Ordinarily, a locked cutter will recover automati-
cally by closing all the covers and turning the power
back ON.
Recovery means that the locked cutter has been
released, so steps (3) and thereafter are unneces-
sary. If the cutter has not recovered, proceed to
step (3).
(3) Pull the cover open lever towards you, open the
printer cover, and close the platen arm. The printer
cover may not open due to the cutter being locked.
In this case, follow steps (4) and (5) to first open
the front cover and remove the tear bar. If the
printer cover opens, proceed to step (6).
Note:
Since the print head is hot immediately
after printing, be sure not to touch it.
On an auto cutter model, a paper cutter is
located at the paper outlet slot. Be careful
not to touch the cutter blade.
(4) Open the front cover by holding the finger grips
on both ends of the cover and lifting it up.
(5) Remove the two screws to remove the tear bar.
