When "Auto cut: Yes" is selected in the printer driver when roll media is used, the cutter unit mounted in front of the spur unit automatically cuts the roll media.

The cutter unit is moved up and down by the cutter lift motor. When cut sheets are used, the cutter unit escapes to the specified position (moves up) to prevent the

trailing edge of the ejected cut sheet from remaining in the cutter unit.

The cutter unit blade stands ready at the cutter home position except when cutting the roll media. The drive power of the cutter drive motor is transmitted to the

loop belt to move the cutter blade from the left to the right for cutting the media.
