Replacing the cutter unit

Eventually the cutting blade on the cutter unit will become dull (blunt) and need to be
replaced. At the appropriate time, purchase a new replacement cutter unit and install it
according to the following procedure.

Check that the cutter unit is located in the home position.
2
Turn OFF the power to the printer and pull out the power cord from
the wall socket.
3
Open the DK Roll cover and pull the roll
release lever to the up position. Remove the
DK Roll.
4
Lift up the cutter cover.
5
Using a cross-head screwdriver, loosen the
screw which holds the cutter blade unit in-
place.
The screw securing the cutter unit should not be
completely removed. Simply loosen it to remove
the cutter unit from the printer.
