Setting the autocutter

The autocutter action on the TM-U220 can be either "partial cut" or "full cut." The procedure to
change from one to the other is described below.
Note:
If the cutting type is changed from partial cut to full cut after the printer has been used, the printer may
not be reliable because the wear-out level of the cutter blade differs.
1. Make sure the power supply is disconnected.
2. Open the roll paper cover, and remove it. (See page 4-16.)
3. Loosen the screw as indicated in following figure.
