Perforation Cutter Drive

The perforation cutter is a disc that is driven across the paper path by the
cutter motor. While the perforation cutter is operating, the printer also
energizes the cutter solenoid. When the cutter solenoid energizes, it moves
the paper retainer, which presses the paper. Together, the paper retainer and
the scuff roller assembly press the paper just before and just after the cutting
position. This paper pressure assures that the paper is cut when the
perforation cutter moves across the paper.
