About the Cutting Mechanism
About the Cutting Mechanism
Your plotter cutter consists of a stylus blade in a holder, mounted on a
track in your printer. The stylus is moved mechanically across the tape
in the design you designate.
The stylus consists of the cutting blade and the apparatus that holds the
blade in place. It is contained in a holder that fits into the tracking
mechanism in your printer. Figure B-2 on page B-4 provides a close-up
view of the stylus holder.
To produce a cut out, the printer moves the stylus using the tracking
mechanism across the tape, cutting the tape in the design you specified.
The printer delivers the cut out label with the backing in place. All you
have to do is strip the cut out from the backing.
You may need to adjust the depth of the blade within the stylus from
time to time, and you may need to replace or clean the stylus holder as
well. The sections that follow describe these procedures.
