Replacing the Paper Cutter Blade

If you notice that your paper isn't being cut cleanly, the cutter blade may
need to be replaced. If you use the blade to cut heavy stock, you will damage
the blade and need to replace it. See page 48 for a list of media that do not
work with the cutter.
You can check the status of your cutter by printing the status check sheet or
viewing its status on the control panel. See page 103 for instructions.
You can obtain a new cutter blade from Epson (part number C12C815291).
