Setting the Autocutter

The TM-U220 autocutter can be set to either "partial cut" or "full cut" using the steps below.
Note:
Do not change the cutting type from partial cut to full cut after the printer has been used. Otherwise, the
printer may not be reliable, because the wear-out level of the cutter blade differs.
1. Make sure the power supply is disconnected.
2. Open the roll paper cover, and remove it. (See page 4-16.)
3. Loosen the screw as indicated in following figure.
