There is a cutter for each tray (two cutters in total).
The cutter is a rotary disk that cuts the paper by pressing it against a metal plate
and moving across the paper.
The cutter motor moves the cutter across the paper.
The cutter can move in either direction.
The cutter can also be moved across the paper manually.
There is a home position switch at each end of the cutter.
When the cutter moves away from home position, a cam closes the paper
holder.
Paper holder: There are two plates, one on each side of the paper path.
The cam moves one of these plates across to clamp the paper so that it can
be cut.
When the cutter is at home position, the cam opens the paper holder and paper
can pass through.
There is a roll feed switch for each roll, on the side of the roll tray.
When this is held down, the machine feeds the paper.
When it is released, the cutter cuts the paper.
