Tape Cutter Mechanism

The cutter mechanism consists of a cutter lever and a cutter unit in which a blade is
retracted by a spring.

Pressing the cutter lever pushes out the blade from the cutter unit to press the printed
tape against the cutter board of the tape cassette, cutting the printed tape coming
through the cutter unit and the cutter board.

When the cassette cover is opened and no tape cassette is loaded, the cutter safety
mechanism works to lock the cutter lever as described in Subsection 2.1.5.
