Accessories Installation; Cutter Attachment - SATO CX400 Service Manual

ACCESSORIES INSTALLATION

Optional accessories are those hardware and software items that may be purchased and used in
conjunction with the basic printer package. Namely, these are the cutter attachment, dispenser
attachment, and font module. Since the hardware options affect the method of operational setup,
they must be installed prior to any setup activities. If applicable, refer the relative procedure
below for specific instructions on accessory installation before proceeding to the Operational
Setup unit.

CUTTER ATTACHMENT

The cutter assembly is an attachment for the automated cutting of labels, tags, or tickets. A back
feed function is included for retracting the label back to the first print position after cutting. The
following procedure provides detailed instructions on cutter assembly installation and assumes
that the unit is without additional attachments that may pose an impediment to cutter installation.
