PRINTING
2.2.2. Cutter
1. Overview
[D]
The shuttle cutter consists of a paper guide frame [A], rotary cutter [B], cutter
sensor [C], and printer jam sensor [D].
2. Cutter Sensor
[C]
In standby mode, the cutter is always at the home position. When the ma-
chine has finished printing, the Rx motor stops then the cutter moves across
the paper.
The cutter sensor [A] is switched on when the rotary cutter blade [B] is at the
home position. When the cutter blade moves to the opposite position to cut
the paper, the cutter sensor is turned off. When the cutter blade reaches the
far side of the cutter, it moves the bracket [C], which turns on the cutter sen-
sor again. The cpu then reverses the cutter motor to move the cutter back to
the home position. After this, the Rx motor feeds out the copy.
